Hi there, I’m Alex

I am a professional tutor with over ten years of experience working with students from primary age through to sixth form, helping them to build their knowledge and confidence across humanities subjects. 

​

I started KidsInTuition out of a desire to help young people boost their self-confidence and thrive academically. I believe that every child can succeed in their studies and that, with the right encouragement and support, all students can unlock their potential.

​

No two children are the same. That's why I design and deliver bespoke learning programmes that cater to their individual goals, learning styles and strengths. For example, for visual and kinaesthetic learners who may struggle in a typical classroom environment, I like to employ physical and visual learning methods such as posters, mind maps and interactive exercises to help them encode and retain key information. My goal is to make lessons so much more than a simple video call and even make dreaded subjects -dare I say it - fun. 

​

I have experience working with pupils who need additional help, whether it's their understanding, self-belief, or both, that need a little extra nurturing. Within my lessons, I build self-esteem and coping strategies for those who find studying challenging. This includes pupils who have special educational needs such as ADHD and dyslexia and those who want to perform their best but who struggle with the pressures of exams. Every child deserves to enjoy learning and be proud of their successes. I aim to achieve this in my lessons by creating an encouraging, fun and supportive environment.
