Bio
I am a merciless perfectionist; in the face of academic triumph I have always devoted myself towards both simplicity and detail. Above all, I have always valued unique connections with my students.
As a recovering academic, I believe it is easy for me to establish an empathetic understanding with those who are feeling overwhelmed by the constant demand of school life. I am adaptable and attentive to the unique needs of every child-- a specialised form of education that is otherwise unnattainable for schools.

Reviews from others
Alexandra is extremely kind and makes learning easy, I appreciate the amount of effort she puts in and how she makes every session genuinely enjoyable. She helped me refine my skills and helped rebuild my confidence in the subject. She managed to make history fun again and I wholeheartedly appreciate her!

Alex has done a fantastic job with Rea, I often overhear their chatter and laughter. She has connected well with Rea, in such a way that she looks forward to all her lessons with her and loves the way she takes time to explain concepts and push her further. Her performance is already improving, as well as her confidence and reduced anxiety leading up to assessmsments. Looking forward to seeing how she performs for the rest of the year as she consolidates her learnings. Feedback from her teahcers has also been great. Where lessons have needed to shift due to conflicting prioirities , this has also been accommodated. Thanks Alex you are a star and all the best with your own studies.

Alexandra teaches with enthusiasm and understanding of Hagan's needs. She is also very willing to provide him with extra learning tips and exam papers. I can actually recognize the improvement in Hagan's every day use of grammar.

She's very good at communicating and she has a very positive and outgoing personality. Our energies matched very well, as I'm very shy she's made me more outgoing with each lesson building my confident in my learning abilities and art <3

Shanni has said that Alexandra better explains the work to her in comparison to her previous tutor and she therefore has a better understanding of the language
