I live in Kent, and I've taught in a variety of universities and schools in the UK, as well as tutoring one-to-one. I've also lived and taught overseas for a while, in Ireland, the USA, Ghana, Seychelles and the Maldives, where I'm a Visiting Lecturer and External Examiner at a university. I'm now back in the UK, which means I can tutor face-to-face as well as online. When I'm not tutoring, I cycle and make my own clothes!

(I was registered at birth as Alexander David, so don't be confused by my reviews!)

I have over 20 years' experience tutoring degree and A level Psychology, and GCSE Maths and English. I've worked at universities in the UK, Ireland and the Maldives, and I've taught in schools in England, the USA and Seychelles. All of my students have gained better grades in exams than they would have without me, they've said.

I start off by finding out where you're at and where you need to get to. Then it's a case of working out the best way for you as an individual to get from one to the other. I look at what gaps there are in your skills and knowledge, and I then explain things in a systematic way that helps you to learn more effectively and to apply knowledge confidently to assessments in a way that maximises your grades.

I adapt to your style of learning so that it's easy for you to follow the route and reach your destination smoothly. If I can make you smile on the way, so much the better!

I love helping people to understand and apply knowledge. Whether it's getting your head round some of the more difficult parts of the A level Psychology specifications, or making up lost ground in GCSE Maths or English, watching lightbulbs appear above students' heads is what makes me happy!

For degree level Psychology, I can offer focused help with projects, research methods and essay-writing skills, and well as helping with subject knowledge.
