Information about Alex
I am an English teacher with wide-ranging experience teaching Key Stage 3 and 4 in a diverse inner-city London school.I am a dedicated, committed and enthusiastic teacher whose experiences to date have allowed me to hone key skills that enable excellent progress in the classroom. My particular experiences lie within stretching the More Able and promoting literacy amongst children. Whilst my main strengths lie teaching English Literature and Language at GCSE level, I am confident tutoring Philosophy and English Literature at A-Level.
I have recently returned from a two year teaching contract at a prestigious international school in Hong Kong where my GCSE class made exceptional progress. I would look forward to working closely with your child in order to ensure that they too meet their excellent potential.

Experience: Last year, all four groups made `outstanding` progress with my KS4 class gaining the highest attainment in the department with 94% receiving L7 and above. I am a dynamic teacher with a particular interest in how to successfully challenge More Able learners. I was promoted to Literacy Coordinator in my second year of teaching and have a strong grasp of how to develop key reading skills across a range of reading ages.

My personal philosophy when teaching is that students learn best when they are invested in their learning. As such, I am very keen to tap into student interests through a range of rigorous extracts that are chosen by them.
