Angelo Alex

Since graduating with a First in English from Oxford University, I have been dedicated to supporting students in achieving their academic and personal goals. Based in London, I specialize in tutoring English for students at both school and university levels, tailoring my approach to meet each pupil’s unique needs. My passion for teaching drives me to make challenging material accessible and engaging, helping students develop more regular study habits as well as helping to build their confidence.

Over the years, I have gained substantial experience working with Oxbridge applicants and students, providing expert guidance on entrance exams, personal statements, and interview preparation. I have also lectured at Westminster University and worked with students in various educational settings.

My background equips me with a comprehensive understanding of English as a subject, spanning language and literature. As a younger tutor, I bring a relatable perspective and an up-to-date familiarity with exam regulations, enabling me to connect with students and address the challenges they face effectively.

I hold a valid DBS check and I offer a flexible, student-centered approach. Whether you need support with coursework, essays, homework, or establishing a productive routine, I aim to design custom-built courses that are tailored to each student’s academic and personal objectives.

If you have any questions about my tutoring practice or would like assistance with Oxbridge applications, entrance exams, personal statements, or interview preparation, please don’t hesitate to get in touch!

Tutoring Experience

I bring a wealth of experience in having tutored students from leading independent schools, as well as teaching at university level. My work with children extends to assisting with Sadler’s Wells’ school outreach programs, where I developed valuable teaching skills and received my DBS certification.

My teaching approach is highly adaptable, tailored to each student’s individual needs to foster their growth and learning. I understand that not all students approach their studies with an inherent passion for the subject, so I strive to make learning accessible, engaging, and enjoyable, empowering them to progress.

I hold a First Class Bachelor’s degree in English Language and Literature from Oxford University, alongside four A-levels (English, History, Fine Art, Drama) and an Extended Project Qualification. My academic achievements, including my high scores in the Oxford Entrance Exam (ELAT), equip me to offer expert guidance on university admissions and the modern exam systems.

In addition to my teaching experience, I am a published writer and freelance critic, bringing a professional understanding of language and communication to my tutoring practice.

Tutoring Approach

I design a personalised course of study for each student, meeting their specific. learning needs. By committing to a regular series of lessons at set times, I help foster a productive routine that builds consistency and discipline. To track progress, I use periodic assessments and ensure our work aligns with key deadlines and the student’s individual objectives.

Entrance Exams: I create bespoke courses for students applying to top schools, blending past paper practice with targeted skills development. My tutoring includes in-depth lessons focused on the specific topics and requirements of each school’s application process. With access to a comprehensive bank of materials and past papers, we thoroughly prepare for every stage of the exam process.

A Level and GCSE Preparation: My approach aims to raise predicted grades while building consistency in working schedules. Together, we develop a comprehensive understanding of the course content and exam requirements, working closely with the marking criteria to study strategically. At the same time, I encourage a natural passion for the subject to flourish alongside academic achievement.

Secondary School Students: I provide tailored lessons, revision sessions, and support with essays and homework, ensuring students have the tools and confidence they need to succeed.

Primary School Support: I've worked extensively with primary school pupils across all subjects. I focused on boosting engagement through structured learning that supports academic growth and personal development.

Speaking Practice: I have helped non-native English speakers, ranging from school-aged students to adult learners, build confidence and improve their communication skills through personalised speaking and language practice.

My goal is always to create a supportive, structured, and engaging learning environment where students feel empowered to reach their full potential, and where they can discover the fun in learning.
