Cambridge PhD Researcher & Tutor of English Literature & Language (at All Levels, including University)

I've been tutored by Aleksandra through First Tutors over the last two years of my undergraduate degree, and could not recommend her any more. She is absolutely brilliant – she has provided invaluable aid in developing my reading, analysis, synthesis, drafting, writing and editing skills. She is the kind of tutor who goes above and beyond in terms of both the time and resources she sets aside for you – part of the reason I've progressed so quickly and clearly is that she provided brilliant take-home resources and annotations to my work completed in-between sessions: very, very detailed and thorough, like having 2–3 additional hours of content explained to me in detail in the margins of each paper or presentation I've had to complete. Having had an unconventional path to university, and not having been sure it was quite for someone of my background despite the scholarship I got to pursue it, Aleksandra has also given me a massive boost of confidence – now also evident in my transcript!

I have no doubt that Aleksandra is an excellent tutor, having known her to have provided high-level undegraduate paper and dissertation supervision at the University of Cambridge, including to a number of students with Student Support Documents (i.e. documents outlining diagnosed learning disabilities, illnesses, and other conditions which require the supervisor to be particularly adaptable and skilled at accommodating a range of students of diverse backgrounds, inclinations and difficulties). A number of Aleksandra's supervisees have gone on to be awarded marks of Class I or Class I with Distinction (i.e. the highest possible marks, a 'First' or a 'Starred First'). As a supervisor, Aleksandra is known to be exceptionally knowledgeable, insightful, thorough and diligent, with an open, understanding and accommodating manner, and as such more than suited to tutoring at all levels of university, school and casual education.
