About Alexis

I spent half a decade as a lecturer in English Literature at Brunel University, where I received my PhD. I graduated from the Russell Group-affiliated University of Southampton with a First-Class Bachelor’s Degree and a prize for the best dissertation of my year. I also received a Master’s Degree with Distinction from the same institution. I have been a private tutor since I was a teenager, and have offered my services on Superprof since 2020. I received outstanding feedback from students and colleagues during my time as a lecturer, and have had successful results with my private students since focusing on tuition. I have helped students with dissertations in subjects ranging from nursing and psychology to business studies and international relations. I am also a nationally-published writer whose book reviews have appeared in The Guardian and Prospect Magazine.

About the lesson

As an experienced writer, assessor, and book reviewer, I will come to our first lesson armed with numerous ideas and principles. But before I begin imparting these I will want to get a sense of the project we'll be working on as well as your current routines, methods, and instincts. Over the course of our first session I will gauge your disposition on aspects of thesis and dissertation writing ranging from initial research through the final proofreading before submission. Whether you need help with articulating your ideas, finding the graft and discipline to complete a first draft, or sussing the transformation of a first draft into a final version, I will identify the stage of the process where I can help you the most. I am more than prepared to help with subjects other than English Language and Literature. I can help tighten your work by asking the kind of questions that I know your marker will bring to bear upon the work. In addition to providing continual feedback on the evolution of the project I also offer a proofreading service. If your dissertation or thesis is more-or-less complete and just needs a fresh pair of eyes, I can do that for you.

Perfect! I feel so lucky to have found Alexis. His brilliant guidance on the first chapter of my thesis gave me invaluable direction and structural insight. His feedback was clear and inspiring, arriving just when I felt directionless and my motivation was waning. Alexis is, without a doubt, a true expert in the field of literary studies, and I cannot recommend him highly enough!

My son likes to study Maths and the science but was struggling with English. With Alexis's help from grades 5&6 at the beginning of Year 11, my son achieved grades 7&8 on his GCSE exams.
The achieved exam results clearly speak for his quality of teaching.
Thank you, Alexis!

Alexis assisted me in writing two assignments for my Masters Degree in Contemporary Literature and Culture, one on postmodern literature and the other on human rights narratives in documentary filmmaking. His delivery of feedback was encouraging and respectful, and his grasp of the style and flow of an essay goes beyond the straightforward content of the work. His knowledge, though operating in subjects distinct from the area of his primary study, was wide-ranging and flexible, and his keen insight was invaluable in attaining the two distinction grades the essays were given. I couldn't recommend Alexis more highly, for tuition in English literature, and indeed any humanities subject .

Alexis is a truly wonderful tutor. He is teaching GCSE English (analysis, comprehension, creative writing) to our son and is familiar with the requirements. He is always prepared and understands just what’s needed to deeply prepare for each topic, while also improvIng exam strategy and confidence. He is clearly capable of more: A-level and university tutoring too. We’re thankful that he instilled great skills in our GCSE son who is on his way to moving up 2 grade marks. His teaching is personalised to specific needs he keenly observes and he is also open to feedback. Trustworthy, patient, prepared, easy to communicate with, professional, punctual, kind- he has a good grasp of students’ needs and structures lessons that lead to noticeable improvement, allowing the student to find their own love for the subject. I highly recommend Alexis.

Dr Alexis Forss was initially my doctoral student at Brunel University, where I hold the Chair in Contemporary Thought. Latterly, he became both my trusted colleague, teaching several modules with me (as well as teaching solo on other courses at Brunel), my friend and intellectual companion - and he has also tutored two of my own sons, privately. As the extent of my involvement with this young man would indicate, I consider him to be not simply trustworthy, but an excellent teacher, thinker, writer and communicator. Indeed, in ten years of teaching in higher education, Dr Forss is the best teacher and lecturer I've seen. He is empathetic as well as eloquent: understanding the capabilities of students intuitively, working to provide them with heuristics that will suit them at their level, and patiently leading them into new skills and areas of knowledge. He is diligent in his preparation for classes, and sincere in his belief in education: this man is not a hack. My own retention of Dr Forss as a teacher for my sons (both of whom are ASD), indicates just how highly I regard his abilities.
