About Alex
I am an experienced SEND specialist English tutor who works with secondary-aged pupils who may need extra support, structure or confidence with English. I have three years’ experience supporting pupils in a school SEND department and specialise in adapting learning to suit individual needs. My approach is calm, patient and encouraging, helping students feel more confident with reading, writing and exam skills. I tailor each session to the learner, focusing on steady progress and building independence.

Hello! I am Alex Dimmock, I specialise in supporting and teaching SEN students. I believe strongly in adapting to the individual student's needs and teaching preferences. I have 3 years of experience as an LSP (Learning Support Practitioner) in a Secondary School, supporting a range of SEND needs.
I spent a summer abroad with Angloville as an international participant tutoring English in a calm and friendly environment. I focus on relational practice, building strong working relationships to build confidence while strengthening a child’s academic abilities. My lessons are aimed at children aged 11-16 years of age but I am willing to take on younger years.
Until August 2026 I will not be able to run any lessons.

Alex is a student along with me in my university class. He has a lot of empathy and kindness, and he truly cares about helping others. He gives great motivation and helps others when they are struggling, whether that’s with work or personally. You can rely on him to help you no matter what, and he has a lot of patience. He's been ahead of everything in this SENDIP course and has done really well the whole way through. He helped me with my uni work, answering my questions if I needed help and explaining things clearly and simply so I understood exactly what I needed to do and how. He showed patience when I asked lots of questions or often asked him to explain again.
I have been in class with Alex for the past three years studying for our degree. Their understanding and knowledge around different needs is fantastic, sharing ideas and strategies and listening intently to others is a key strength and positive attitude and encouragement doesn’t go unnoticed!
Alex is an enthusiast for supporting children and young people with additional needs. He has sound knowledge of what issue neurodiverse individuals can face and is effective in helping those students to manage their difficulties. He relates well to students and staff alike.
