Alex has helped me more in three sessions than multiple other tutors have helped me in the past three years. He gets straight to the point with simple and clear strategies that take whatever you can already do and make it so much better. Instead of going through endless past questions, he's given me tips that help me tackle whatever comes up. Every session massively pays off. I cannot recommend Alex highly enough.
