Alex has been beyond helpful with my current university studies, could not recommend him enough to anyone who needs some guidance and advice on how to construct an effective essay.
Great feedback on my essay!
I have been working on my IA with Alex for the last several weeks and he really did make the process enjoyable. From helping me really get into my topic to completing an IA I really am happy with, Alex was so helpful. He makes the lesson a mixture of fun and productive and I would really recommend him as a tutor.
A great first meeting, Alex is lovely. Helped put my thoughts in order, created a realistic and attainable plan for me to follow, and answered all my questions. Looking forward to our next meeting!
Great lesson, so much work done in just an hour!
The lesson was very helpful, I got a great introduction into the IA. We picked a question and started my research.
Alexander is a really available and helpful tutor. I requested for a tutor who could help me with the History IB paper 1, I have selected Alexander and he has been really useful and available. He understood my necessities and worked to help me get the highest marks. He taught me different tactics and techniques on how to approach the different types of question, he also taught me different methods on how to deal with time. He is great, I strongly advise him.
Great as always. Really short notice work and came through to help me out!
Great feedback and v helpful with suggestions.
very interesting lesson - good time management@
