About Alex
Hi, my name is Alex. I am an experienced teacher with a friendly attitude. I believe in encouraging students to discover the joys of English Literature and English Language, fostering independent critical thinkers, and maintaining high standards within a genial, relaxed, and supportive atmosphere.
I have taught English Literature at undergraduate and postgraduate levels for many years at Queen's University Belfast; I have taught as a private tutor since 2009, working with students from age 6 to adult learners; and my work as a Student Support Worker at various HE and FE institutions has given me a tactful and sensitive approach to students' individual requirements.
As a qualified Study Skills tutor, I can help with such skills as time-management, stress-management, organisation, exam preparation, essay-writing, and concentration/focus.
I aim to impart my love for and knowledge of the subject to all my students. So far, I have been successful in this, and you can be a part of this continuing success!
University :
- Queen's University Belfast - PhD [Pass with minor corrections]
- University of Durham - MA [Distinction]
- University of Central Lancashire - BA (hons) [2:1]
Prizes and Scholarships :
In 2004 I was awarded full fees and living expenses by the Department of Education and Learning to pursue three years of doctoral studies.
In 2014 and 2016 I was awarded £1,500 by the Arts Council of Northern Ireland to assist in the writing of my debut poetry collection (about to be published).
As a Master's degree student at the University of Durham, I graduated proxime accessit for the Raman Selden Prize.
I have published (to date) five articles with Oxford University Press journals on modern literature. I am about to publish a book of poetry with Eyewear Publishing, and have a book of literary criticism forthcoming in 2018 with Manchester University Press.

Recommendations
Recommendations come from relatives, friends and acquaintances of the teacher
Alex provided me with academic support at university level and I could not recommend him highly enough. He is an approachable and friendly man who is highly capable at meeting the needs of all people as he can adapt his teaching style to meet your needs. He is a reliable, hardworking and empathetic gentleman. I thoroughly enjoyed working with Alex but also benefited greatly academically.
Alex is a highly intelligent and empathetic tutor who is genuinely invested in getting the best output possible from the individual he is tutoring. He has the rare and natural gift of making a person feel at ease in his presence no matter how anxious that person may be. Alex has a great sense of humour which makes studying with him more fun than studying alone and he was always flexible and willing to fit around my busy schedule. Alex is a lateral thinker and always seeks to get the full picture in order to provide the assistance most appropriate for that particular tutoring session, whether this be peer support or academic support. He is knowledgeable about a range of subjects and can be of particular assistance when helping someone with their writing and literature. I highly recommend Alex as a tutor and feel he can greatly enhance the academic output of any student.
Alex is a brilliant teacher and his friendly style helped me to relax and enjoy studying literature and language. I can't recommend him enough!! Five stars!!
