About Alexander

Hi there, my name is Alex.

I'm a former European Court of Justice lawyer (UK jurist cabinet), with degrees from the London School of Economics, the University of Oxford and City Law School.

I am experienced in academic writing, having authored pieces for the UCL Journal of Jurisprudence and King's College London's Security and Conflict Journal. I have written three dissertations throughout my student career- two of which won academic prizes (LSE James Joll Award 2013; Monckton Chambers EU Law Dissertation Prize 2018). I'm comfortable advising students on all aspects of dissertation planning and writing, from methodology, through to planning and writing.

Moving away from the academic sphere, I'm also a decent copywriter. I previously moonlighted as a football journalist and am happy to write for a variety of audiences. You can see some examples of my work here ((concealed information)


I hold an Advanced DBS Check Certificate (re-issued in January 2021), and have previously worked with children with SEN or Disability (SEND) as an advocate before the Education Tribunal. I am available weekdays in the daytime or evening, as well as weekends- whenever best suits you and your family.

My specialisms are in history, politics and law, though I am equally happy to teach English language & Literature, Geography or Sociology. I achieved A*A*A*A* at A level in English, Geography, History and Politics so am competent at this level.

I read International History at the LSE for my undergraduate, before completing a three-year M.Phil in International Relations at Oxford. I then completed a law conversion and was admitted to the Bar of England and Wales in 2019.

I have been a tutor for three years, working with students in the UK, USA and Luxembourg. I have tutored in both English and French.

As it is the key tenet of the 2014 National Curriculum, my tutoring approach is mainly defined by the knowledge-led approach to pedagogy inspired by ED Hirsch. That is to say, for most learners to gain a basic fluency in a subject from which they will be able to engage in inquiry-forms of learning, it is first necessary to help them learn, master and apply the basic "blocks" of knowledge that define a subject i.e. the mastery approach. How much of this initial scaffolding that will need to be done will, of course, be dependent on each student's prior level of knowledge, confidence etc.

While building up this body of knowledge is key, I'm not a fan of achieving it through rote memorisation. I think the latter reduces students' emotional investment in a subject, as learning no longer becomes joyous but a task. I prefer instead use a bit of charisma and creativity to introduce students to concepts through scaffolded examples we can work through together. I then use retrieval practice and quizzing to identify the gaps in their misunderstanding, from which I build more complex examples or introduce new concepts.

Of course, what works with one pupil does not always with another. Five-year-olds are different from 15-year-olds with respect to both their cognitive development and their knowledge and expertise, while a lesson on concepts and definitions is different from a lesson on applications. With younger children, I'll therefore often begin with more play-based pedagogies when introducing concepts, while with older teenagers, I'm more open to accelerating more quickly to inquiry-based forms of teaching.
