About Alasdair
I am a teacher and professional actor living in East London. I have appeared on the West End and on tour as well as on television and film. Recently I played Gerald Croft in Stephen Daldry’s seminal production of An Inspector Calls.
I also teach GCSE English at the Berkshire College of Agriculture and am a visiting drama teacher and director at Charterhouse where I have also taught A & AS Level Theatre Studies.
I was a student at Charterhouse for five years before becoming an actor. There I developed a love for literature and language which I enjoy passing onto younger generations. Close textual analysis and new writing are of special interest to me and garnered me the highest grades throughout my school career.
I have fuve years of experience as a private tutor in English Language and Literature at GCSE, AS and A Level as well as preparing students for Common Entrance. My students have always achieved high grades and, I am led to believe, enjoy the classes.
I attended the internationally-renowned Bristol Old Vic Theatre School which is one of only three drama schools in the country (along with RADA and LAMDA) to be a member of the Conservatoire of Dance and Drama. I have worked extensively with classical texts but also with new work and musicals. I am happy to help people prepare for drama school auditions and have sat on the audition panel of my alma mater several times. I have a extensive knowledge of world drama (with a particular passion for modern Irish work) and practitioners as well as the history of theatre and am therefore ideally suited to tutoring drama and theatre studies as an academic subject.

Alasdair tutored my son for the 10+ English exam and he did a brilliant job. My son hates English yet he really enjoyed his sessions with Alasdair! He came on leaps and bounds within just a few sessions and has been inspired to read more. I am very grateful.
