Nestor Education
We are an élite tutoring agency offering teaching in person and online to students of all ages from around the world.
Nestor Education was founded by Roma Rodriguez-Alarcon.
Roma spent his formative years as a Scholar at St Paul’s School. He went on to read History and French at University College London, graduating on the Dean’s List with an exceptional First Class degree. After taking his BA, Roma has spent time studying Renaissance Art at the British Institute in Florence, and he is currently completing an MPhil in Intellectual History at Somerville College, Oxford.
Roma began tutoring privately after leaving St Paul’s in 2018 and has now accumulated over five thousand hours of teaching experience. Many of Roma's tutees have gone on to win places and scholarships at England’s most academically competitive schools, and he has a formidable track record of helping students receive offers from the Universities of Oxford and Cambridge.
Roma co-founded Nestor in 2024 with the mission of putting together an outstanding team of educators capable of delivering genuinely exceptional academic support and cultural enrichment to students of all ages.
Who we are
At Nestor Education, it is our conviction that interacting with interesting, inspiring, and academically brilliant young adults is an invaluable experience for children of all ages. Not only does it help them to receive the very best results in their academic endeavours; it also raises their intellectual ambitions, broadens their cultural interests, and provides them with academic role models and mentors.
We fiercely reject the view that teaching is simply a case of systematically feeding a student the information contained on a syllabus. Both of our lives have been enriched immeasurably by the inspirational teachers we were fortunate enough to have at school and university. They did not merely give us the tools to ascend the academic heights to which we aspired. Far more importantly than that, they also endowed us with a set of personal qualities and intellectual interests that continue to shape and enhance our lives every day.
We therefore believe that the objective of tutoring is not just helping children to attain their academic aims but imbuing them with self-discipline, confidence, ambition, articulacy, curiosity, and a love of learning. It is for this reason that we care so deeply about both the academic credentials and the interpersonal skills of our tutors at Nestor.
Every member of our small team of dedicated tutors is a highly experienced educator with a first-rate record of academic success. What makes them special, however, is that they are also profoundly interesting, engaging, and charismatic individuals, with whom we believe children will genuinely enjoy spending time. They are the kind of people who will inspire your child, as well as guiding them towards their academic goals.

What our clients have said about us
‘Roma and Matthew have been working with our boys (now 12 and 14 years old) for several years, and they have been amazing. They took our boys, who were a bit daunted by the Common Entrance exams, and helped them week over week gain confidence and ultimately nail their public exams. Roma helped lead our 13 year old to A grades in English and History, which was a huge step from where he started in 2021! Matti helped our 11 year old conquer his fear of Latin and also enabled him to gradually improve his English mark. We’ve been delighted having these two young gentlemen as part of our family weekly routine and have felt incredibly supported across our boys’ educational journey. They have inspired our kids and ultimately given them the tools to get great exam results!’
— Mother of Year 8 and Year 10 students‘We would like to thank Roma for the tremendous support and guidance he has provided to our ten-year-old son. His confidence has improved massively since he has had sessions with him. He would not have got into Eton or be the person who he is today if it were not for Roma.’
— Mother of Year 8 and Year 10 students‘I highly recommend Nestor’s tutoring services. My children received support from their tutors in English, French, and History. The tutors were exceptional in preparing them for their exams, leading to outstanding results. Their teaching was engaging, thorough, and tailored to my children’s needs. Thanks to Nestor’s support, my son and daughter received the grades necessary to take up their places at Winchester College, and my youngest daughter secured a place at Godolphin and Latymer School.’
— Mother of Year 7, Year 10, and Year 13 students‘I have had the pleasure of knowing Roma both professionally and personally. In a professional capacity, I have seen Roma’s exceptional skills as a tutor firsthand. He possesses a deep understanding of his subjects and has a unique ability to explain complex concepts in a clear and engaging manner. His patience and dedication to his students' success are truly admirable . On a personal level, Roma is kind, approachable, and always willing to help others. His passion for teaching and his supportive nature make him an outstanding tutor and a valued friend. I highly recommend Roma to anyone seeking academic support for their children.’
— Mother of Year 11 student ‘It has been a privilege to have Roma’s support and unrivalled tuition over the past 17 months. In that time My son has benefited academically and in confidence resulting in ‘A’ grades and a positive attitude towards French and English. Roma is not only a fantastic tutor but also an inspirational mentor.’
— Mother of Year 8 student‘Roma provided my family friend with a set of genuinely fabulous interview preparation sessions, which played a key part in enabling him to attain fully funded scholarships at both Eton and Harrow.’
