Tommaso Alessandro P - Tutors - Keystone Tutors
Tommaso Alessandro
Tommaso teaches English, History, Italian, Psychology, Philosophy and RS across the age range. He also helps with Maths at 11+ and 13+. He has been tutoring alongside his studies for the past 5 years.
“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.
“Tommasso was instrumental in getting her her A* in RS. (Parent of A Level RS student)”
“I must thank you for matching Tommaso with my son. Indeed a great tutor, who challenged my son to figure out the correct answers with methods to help him navigate tougher questions. Tommaso also lifted the weight of worry and my child has become more confident and happy . Tommaso is like a miracle, We are very satisfied and wish to continue weekly lessons with him.”
“My son seemed to enjoy his lesson and is looking forward to the next one focusing on English & Maths. Tommaso was very professional and helpful.”
“My daughter embraced every lesson with Tommaso! Tommaso not only managed to go through the entire Year 12 syllabus in no time but also instilled self confidence, which motivated my daughter to revise the syllabus by herself beyond Tommaso’s lessons. Tommaso understood how to build up a trusting, caring relationship and on top managed my daughter's dyslexia - despite the lessons being online. Tommaso definitely inspired her learning and her desire to do her best. One can’t ask for more! I can only speak highly of Tommaso and recommend Tommaso as a highly motivating, caring, supportive and extremely knowledgeable teacher.”
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.
