Alex is currently working with my two teenage sons. He is targeting exam questions with them. They are motivated and believe they can achieve higher exam results as they can already feel an improvement in their work and have a better idea of what is actually required of them in the exams.

Alex is a unique tutor and mentor for children and teenagers of all levels in that he gets to know them and understand where they need assistance and encouragement most. He has helped all three of my boys excel their individual English and essay writing tasks and the sessions paid off in many ways not least in that they just really enjoyed it! "

"Alex has started tutoring my son for 11+ English a couple of months ago and he really enjoys the lessons. Alex has a very structured approach, calm and constructive. All lessons are being followed by detailed feedback on the progress and the home work. Of course, the result will show but it looks like Alex has the right approach and I feel that my son is making good progress."

"Alex has been tutoring my son for approximately 6 weeks and I am very pleased to say that we have seen positive results in Sam`s recent mock results which is very pleasing. I have to say that Alex is one of the best tutors I have come across. He is professional, enthusiastic and genuine. He takes his tutoring very seriously and every lesson is generally followed up with an email of homework. My son likes working with Alex and benefits from Alex`s tutoring style - he says Alex makes things easier for him to understand - more so than teachers at school. I would highly recommend Alex as a tutor for your child. Thank you Alex!"

"Alex has been wonderful at helping my son with his English, and increasing his confidence in a subject that was not his favourite. His knowledge of the requirements for 11+ and 13+ exam entry is impressive and you feel like you are in very capable hands. He is calm and encouraging, clear and thorough, and whilst he expects a lot of his tutees, he is very good at showing them how to achieve those aims. He is also very dedicated, punctual and reliable. All in all a truly excellent tutor. I am very grateful for his support and expertise."

I had the great opportunity to have Alex as my tutor for almost 2 months. He is very helpful and he has a lot of patience. I searched for an english native tutor, but I was quite apprehensive as my level was very low and I wouldn’t like to be judged. Alex gave me confidence since the first class, he always helped and never judged me, actually he always pointed out my progress and my skills. With him I improved my writing, my speaking (i had many compliments from my manager in my previous job in London) and my listening (I am able to watch english movies without subtitles!). In only 2 months my level went up. Sadly I could not keep with the lesson as I was coming back to Brazil. As a result, I could get a great job in Brazil as here they need people that knows well english. I totally recommend him, he is friendly and he cares about your progress, he is very calm teaching. You will definately improve your english. I wish I could had done more lessons with him. (The price is totally fair for what he gives you!) Thanks, Alex!

When my son chooses something, I usually respect my son's thoughts and it is my thought that his choice was right to be with Alex as a tutor for nearly 3 years. Because Ryan has made a lot of progress both academically and personally while teaching with him. In particular, he likes to write movie scenarios and novels, and I think he won the Green Story novel writing contest because Alex taught Ryan well. Sometimes people have a negative view of teaching online, and Alex shows that you are soft and strong enough to concentrate. It also gives the students a chance to review with responsibility the core parts of the lesson. Thank you.
