Information about Alex
I am a Maths and Science tutor, 11+ to GCSE. After graduating from Manchester University, I spent a year in New York recording with the rock band I had established at university. In 2010 we relocated to London, where I took up a position as a Manny for an 11 year old boy. I found I got a real kick from the time I spent helping him with the challenges he faced - from homework, to saxophone, to behavioural problems in class and in the playground. Through recommendation I began to tutor older kids, where I specialised in Maths and Sciences. I grew into a Professional Tutor as I discovered my passion for inspiring, and helping to equip others with a mentality and motivation for out-achieving their own expectations. Following a stint as a Researcher in a financial services firm, I now balance tutoring with running a recording studio in East London, and playing in a band.
Over the past five years I have travelled to several countries to tutor, although most of my long-term students are here in London. I split my time between privately funded students, and ‘looked after children’, paid for by the government and needing special attention for a variety of social and educational reasons. This range of clientèle has exposed me to a the full scope of situations, attuning my professional sensitivity and providing me the opportunity to grow into an experienced and confident tutor. Results have regularly exceeded expectations, and my relationships with parents and students alike have been highly praised.
Availability: Varies throughout the year. Please discuss with me.
Willing to travel: 5 miles
Experience: I have been tutoring since 2009. Since then I have taught classes in schools in London, thanks to a Teach First training program. I have privately tutored a huge range of children, and been hired to mentor teenagers. Prior to my tutoring career, I gained experience teaching in Rwanda.
