Alan Ellis

Hi, I’m Alan — an experienced IT professional, psychology graduate, and friendly one-to-one tutor based in Sutton-in-Ashfield.
I bring over 20 years of real-world technology experience alongside formal qualifications in both IT and Psychology. I’ve worked in advanced technical support, repaired and built computers professionally, and ran my own IT services company supporting homes and businesses. This means I teach practical, useful skills — not just textbook theory.
I tutor Computer Science, IT skills, digital literacy, and general study support for children, teens, and adults. I can help with GCSE preparation, homework support, coding basics, problem solving, or simply building confidence with technology.
My teaching style is calm, patient and structured. I break complex topics into simple steps and adapt lessons to each student’s learning style. I particularly specialise in working with students who struggle in traditional classrooms, including those with ADHD, autism, anxiety, or executive function difficulties. With my psychology background, I understand how to support focus, motivation, and confidence in a positive way.
Lessons are fully personalised and can be online or in person. I’m reliable, approachable, and focused on helping students make steady, stress-free progress.
If you’re looking for a supportive tutor who combines professional experience with patience and understanding, I’d love to help.
