Reviews

This year, I had the privilege of being tutored by Alex. His personalized approach and insightful feedback not only boosted my essay skills but also instilled the confidence needed for the English exam. Without Alex's mentorship, achieving the score I did would not have been possible. I am super grateful for his guidance.

Alex is an exceptional tutor for the IB. He helped me with preparation for English Language and Literature and Chemistry, as well as with Theory of Knowledge. He provided valuable feedback on my essays and thoroughly covered all necessary content for the IB exams and assessments. Alex is a resourceful, knowledgeable and approachable tutor, and I would definitely recommend him to any current or future IB students.
