Tommaso Alessandro P - Tutors

“The first lesson went very well. We felt Tommaso and our son had a really good connection and we very much look forward to building on that. Saturday was a great start to their journey together.”

I started my tutoring career during my MA and PhD at UCL, focusing especially on the humanities (e.g. Psychology, Philosophy, History, R.S., Classical Civilisation, Geography). Over the years, I have tutored a great number of students in these subjects, at all levels, from complete beginners to students successfully being admitted into Russel Group universities and Oxbridge. Due to my parallel background in psychotherapy, I have also worked with many students with SEN (Special Educational Needs, such as Dyslexia and ADHD).

I was born and raised in Northern Italy, Milan, where I spent most of my childhood. During my youth, I have played football professionally for several years, before completing a BA in Literature and Philosophy at the Catholic University of Milan. At 23, I moved to London, where I obtained an MA and a PhD at UCL, whilst intensively working as an academic and tutor as well as completing a clinical training as a psychotherapist.

“My son was feeling anxious and overwhelmed by the complexity and quantity of material required in the A level Philosophy syllabus, and so we approached Keystone Tutors for help. Tommaso has transformed my son’s A level Philosophy experience, and has created order, calm analysis and structure when there had been chaos and confusion. With Tommaso’s support, my son is now feeling confident, organised and has regained enjoyment in the subject, not to mention a very noticeable increase in his school grades. I am grateful to Tommaso for his calm, very knowledgeable and experienced approach and the way he has managed to connect with my teenager and help him to realise his potential.”

“Tommaso is doing very well. He engages well with the children and he is always available to respond to the children's needs and requests from parents/carers or school. We are happy to have him and we hope he will continue to run our 11+ club.”

“My daughter is extremely happy re her first lesson. She felt Tommaso understood her and was very effective in guiding her re important tools. She was very amazed that they went through an entire topic and this also helped her self confidence a lot.”

Parent

“My daughter also did very well in her Italian GCSE getting an A so very appreciative of Tommaso’s help as well. Thanks for all your help!”

My tutoring approach is based on my commitment to understand the specific needs of each student and build on the special rapport that can be established between tutor and student in the course of each session. I am fascinated by the psychology of tutoring and I employ a variety of learning and coaching strategies that help my students achieve their maximum potential. I am firmly convinced that tutoring creates a level of support and trust which can be more stimulating and effective than any other learning environment. My tutoring style is energetic and engaging, yet patient and encouraging when needed.

I love sports of all kinds, especially skiing, cycling and rock climbing.
