About Alexander

I am familiar with the latest, most effective creative writing pedagogy.

Everyone needs to find their own way with writing: the key, as they say, is to find your 'voice'. My job is to simply let you know if you might be singing a little off key -- which usually means sounding like someone else (imitation, however, does have its uses.) Sure, there are some basics to grasp. Understanding how to use figurative language, prosody and story structure is a good start. But craft will only take you so far. The path to genuine expression is often indirect -- but, again, a helpful guide can help you on your way. I can help with the following: craft; finding your genre; developing ideas; manuscript editing; workshopping poems and stories; preparing for publication; finding the right form; critical feedback; structuring; how to think with your poems and stories.
Reviews
All of our reviews are collected by us and are 100% reliable. They correspond to a real experience had by the students of Alexander.
Perfect! Alex provided astute and helpful advice on a piece of work I'm developing, layering feedback with elements of craft, explanations of how it reads (to understand if it came across as intended), and examples for further reference. I imagine this is about finding someone who works for you, but I'm glad of my choice in Alex.
- Great to meet you Scott. I'm looking forward to helping you with your creative project!Alexander's response :

Alex has been teaching my son English language and English literature in preparation for his GCSEs this year. Alex had helped him become more organised, focused, and prepared. As a result, my son has gone from a expected grade 5 to a grade 7 under his tutelage. I like that Alex sets homework to reinforce the work from the lessons, and he always gives great feedback on what they have covered and areas to be worked on. I have highly recommended Alex to my friends.
Alexander tutored my son in English language. He was kind, patient and obviously knew his stuff as my son achieved two grades higher than predicted. An excellent tutor.
What a brilliant experience my son had with Alexander! He really brought literature to life for him... not to mention improved his grades drastically. I would think any student would benefit from lessons with Alexander
Alexander tutored my son to achieve higher than his predicted grade in GCSE English language. He was professional, knowledgeable and highly effective.
Alexander tutored my daughter to success in her A level religious studies and English literature exams. An excelled, patient and very knowledgeable tutor whose services I would recommend to anyone hoping to improve their child's performance.
Alex really helped instil a bit of confidence in my daughter following a poor mock result. She took so much away from the lessons and was able to get back on track. Would highly recommend Alex
Alexander tutored my son in English literature A level. He improved his mark from 7 to 9 and provided a highly professional service . I would recommend him to any parent looking to improve their child's grades
It’s a delight to study with Alex. He is a careful, kind and considerate tutor I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend:)
Alexander really helped reintroduce me to studying English as an adult learner brushing up for a functional skill exam.
I happily recommend Alexander as a tutor, his tutorials made all the difference to my studies , he is patient & his methods are extremely clear . The level of care Alexander takes as a one to one tutor not only made progress so much in my studies but gave me confidence in the subject I hadn’t achieved before.
Working with Alexander was a really positive experience & I highly recommend him .Alexander has tutored me in English language and literature in preparation for my English exams. Thanks to his guidance and knowledge I not only passed my exams but acquired valuable skills that I will carry with me into the future as a writer.
After working with Alexander,my child's work and confidence improved enormously
