About Alex

A recent graduate receiving a 1st class honours in Education Studies; a multidisciplinary degree focusing on pedagogical methods, sociology, politics and psychology. The modules I undertook critically evaluated an array of teaching styles, societal barriers restricting educational access and the current political education environment. Listed below are the modules I studied during my time at university along with the grade given: • Social Justice Matters (an exploration of theories surrounding social justice; a sociological based module): 82% • Exploring Places & Spaces: Education beyond the classroom: 78% • Language & Learning: 72% • Educational Identities (a critical analysis of theories of how identity is constructed and reshaped within societal institutions): 82% • Schooling Bodies, Disciplining Minds; Discourses of the Self in Education (a thorough investigation of how knowledge is constructed within society): 84% • Dissertation Project: 72% The work I have been lucky enough to partake in with the charity NACRO, NCS (The Challenge) and others has enabled me to cultivate a child/student-centred approach to teaching practice. My most recent position was working as a student researcher for a higher education institution, working primarily within the Learning Enhancement and Academic Development directorate. I was given wide access to cutting edge research that is continuing to shape teaching practice and pedagogy throughout the university. This wide range of educational environments also means I am comfortable in a variety of settings - leading, facilitating and working with children and young adults from a diverse range of backgrounds. I’m keen to make a difference. It’s been said before but every child or student matters. Below are excerpts from a reference received from my lecturer of three years, academic supervisor and dissertation supervisor reiterating my positive attitude towards learning and my high degree of knowledge in my specialisms: “...he is well motivated, disciplined in his study habits and demonstrated a high level of engagement with his subject area...” “Alexander demonstrated clear evidence of a sharply critical mind both in terms of his engagement with the academic literature surrounding this subject, and his approach to data gathering and analysis.” A real interest of mine is social research as my postgraduate pathway suggests. This excerpt refers to my relative success in my dissertation research project: (A critical evaluation of ‘aspirations’ within the lived experiences of learners in a post-16 setting within the neoliberal paradigm.) “...his organisation and analysis of this data Alex showed evidence of a mature and sophisticated approach to research. He was able to discuss and locate his empirical findings within the broader literature, drawing upon complex ideas from Hayek, Bourdieu and other key sources, in a way that demonstrated considerable intellectual maturity.” I believe we do our best work when we have passionate interest for something; my passion comes from my past and my present experiences of education and I am excited by the prospect of being part of some thinking that might shape the future.

About the lesson

My comprehensive exposure to all things education enabled me to develop a bespoke and personalised approach to teaching. An approach grounded in inclusive practice, patience and most of all enthusiasm for the subject at hand. My personal goal is to ensure each learner can finish a session feeling more confident and comfortable in approaching subject matter, content and theory. I have a person-centred philosophy which I think adds real value in this respect.

Perfect! I recently had the pleasure of working with Alex for an essay that I was struggling to get started on, and I couldn’t be more satisfied with the experience. Despite having only a few hours to prepare for our lesson, Alex came very well prepared. His ability to simplify complex ideas through engaging discussion really helped me make connections. He is very good with breaking down ideas into digestible pieces, helping me get a deeper understanding, without even having done enough reading on the topics discussed. I highly recommend Alex.

Alex's response
They are an exceptional student with outstanding listening skills and a keen understanding of complex sociological concepts. Guided by a strong moral compass, she approaches her research with a commitment to justice and equity. They actively engages in dialogue, asking critical questions that enrich our discussions and deepen her understanding.

Currently, we are focusing on literature synthesis in her essay writing, a challenge she approaches with dedication and diligence. I have full confidence in her ability to excel in this endeavor and beyond.

they are a pleasure to work with, and I am confident she will continue to make valuable contributions to the field of sociology, education and beyond.

Perfect! Alex is a great tutor and I would highly recommend him. I contacted him to help me with a university assignment which I had no idea about and with his support I fully understood all aspects of the question and thoroughly enjoyed his teaching techniques :)

Jasneet was a very receptive listener and understood complex theories of social stratification at speed. We worked well together - I wish her all the best in her studies.
