About Alex
***About Me***
My love for connecting with people, understanding their hardships, and helping them overcome English language barriers has enabled me to support hundreds of individuals in improving both their personal and professional lives. Above all, I recognize how deeply one's English proficiency can impact their personal, academic, and professional growth. That’s why I genuinely care about ensuring my students stay on track and make meaningful progress toward their goals.
**What Sets Me Apart:**
I bring a unique blend of expertise with a background in business studies, marketing, and entrepreneurship, complemented by 5 years of professional experience and 8 years as a self-employed English tutor. This combination allows me to provide practical business insights alongside effective communication strategies, ensuring my clients gain valuable, real-world skills.
**How I Can Help You:**
With eight years of tutoring experience, proven client results, and qualifications as a Teacher of English to Foreign Learners (TELF) alongside a bachelor’s degree in Business Studies, I am confident in my ability to help you overcome challenges such as:
- Moving Abroad: You dream of relocating but struggle to pass the required English tests, keeping you stuck in your home country.
- Career Advancement: Financial struggles weigh you down, and securing a new job with better pay could ease your stress and provide stability.
- Fitting Into a New Country: You feel isolated because language barriers prevent you from forming meaningful relationships.
- Academic Success: Managing your studies feels overwhelming, and working with a tutor could help you structure your assignments, graduate successfully, and attract top employers.
- Supporting Your Child’s Education: As a parent, you worry that your child is falling behind in English, and consistent tutoring could help them thrive in school.
***My Background & Experience***
I discovered my passion for teaching while traveling in New Zealand in 2017. My experiences exploring the world helped me develop a unique ability to connect seamlessly with people from all walks of life. Additionally, my background in business and marketing taught me how to build strong relationships with global clients through effective communication and personalized solutions. This blend of cultural understanding, business expertise, and teaching skills sets me apart from other tutors.
***Outside Work***
Outside of work, I stay active by going to the gym, running, and swimming. I’ve traveled extensively across Europe, Asia, and Australasia, having lived in New Zealand and Australia for several years. I now offer both remote and in-person tutoring. Close friends and family describe me as open-minded, caring, and approachable.
***My Teaching Approach***
Every lesson is planned in advance after taking in time to really understand the individual's needs. After the first session, which allows me to meet and get to know what makes the person tick, I focus on creating personalised materials that look to address their most pressing challenges or pain points. I set after class practice material and guide learners to the most suitable resources to use. My teaching style guides learners but also fosters their ability to self learn, leading to longer term positive outcomes.

***About the Lesson***
Through a student-focused approach, where the needs, interests, and learning style are at the center of the teaching process, this 60/90/120-minute session allows students the flexibility to focus on improving their core English skills the way they want. This could include:
***The Four Core Pillars of English***
1. Speaking: Expressing ideas clearly and confidently in conversation.
2. Writing: Structuring ideas effectively in written form.
3. Listening: Understanding spoken language, including conversations and lectures.
4. Reading: Comprehending and analyzing written text.
***The 3 Key Components of English***
1. Grammar: Rules for sentence structure, tenses, and word usage.
2. Pronunciation: Correctly producing sounds and words.
3. Vocabulary: Building a strong word bank to express ideas accurately and clearly.
**Who are these lessons designed for?**
These sessions are tailored to anyone who wants to upskill their English skills or has a particular goal to work towards. You could be a parent of a child who needs to pass a school exam (NAPLAN, ACER, OLNA), an adult who just moved abroad and needs English to better integrate into a new culture or a professional who wants to sharpen their English at work to improve their career prospects.
**Methodology:**
I believe it is pivotal to foster engagement in my students and deeper understanding from the learning material so they come away from my classes with lifelong learning skills. These lessons tailor activities to what best suits each student's unique needs and learning style.
**Lesson Structure:**
After the initial 30-minute consultation session which aims to better understand where the student needs most assistance, lesson plans will be built to dig deep into each area that needs improvement. Key strategies will be unraveled under the guidance of myself until my student understands them and can apply them independently.
Reviews
All of our reviews are collected by us and are 100% reliable. They correspond to a real experience had by the students of Alex.
Perfect! My son has greatly benefited from weekly online reading sessions with Alex. Over the past 12 weeks, Alex has helped him improve his ability to answer multiple-choice questions, read for detail, and grasp the main ideas of various texts, including NAPLAN materials and British Council resources. My Year 5 son has really enjoyed Alex's teaching style – he clearly knows how to engage young learners and make learning enjoyable.
Perfect! I had a trial session with Alex and it was excellent. He provided clear explanations and made the session engaging. I felt more confident after the session and would recommend Alex as an English tutor to any learners!
Perfect! "As a PHD student abroad living in Sydney and a forma teacher myself, I appreciate the value of having a private English tutor in Australia to guide me through the process of learning English at an advanced level. Alex has worked with me for 3-weeks, teaches me twice per week and has been creating a personalised learning program catered to my needs. He uses a wide range of learning resources balanced with theory and practical exercises to improve my areas of weakness. Very happy so far!"
Perfect! I absolutely recommend Alex as a teacher. His very sympathetic manner and openess to accommodate to my learning wishes make the classes very enjoyable. Besides the pleasant classes, he showed me also how I can study more effectively on my own and that is really important to me. He is always well organized, responds to my messages very quickly and is flexible.
- Alex's response :
Perfect! In November 2023, I sought guidance from Alex to improve my workplace communication and general English confidence. After 5-weeks of weekly online sessions and through his flexibility to adapt lessons to my needs, I have been able to identify areas of weakness and rectify them including: Writing concise work emails, revising and applying key grammar topics such as sentence structure, prepositions, articles and when to use active vs passive voice correctly. I already feel more confident and look forward to continue developing my English skills alongside Alex.
Perfect! Good communication, polite and efficient.
- Alex's response :
Perfect! It was an excellent class.
- Alex's response :
Perfect! Alex has been an amazing teacher so far. Until last week, I was very afraid of not be able to pass my Pte test, but thanks to his teaching method I’m feeling more confident now, and I feel like it’s going to be more easy to practice and past the test. 5 stars all deserved! :) ️
- Alex's response :

- Alex's response :
Perfect! Alex is a brilliant teacher. It’s been easy studying with him because he has been tailoring each lesson to my needs which has genuinely improved my speaking confidence in only a few sessions! Post each session he shares list of resources which are helpful for self learning and to further upskill my capabilities in specific areas.

Alex is an excellent English tutor. His guidance helped me clearly understand how to approach academic essay writing for my university accounting course. His 30-minute free consultation was invaluable, and I highly recommend it!
Alex is exceptional at coaching individuals on how to answer questions during job interviews. As an experienced HR professional seeking a senior role, he has helped me work toward this goal in numerous ways. Specifically, he has improved my confidence, provided techniques for structuring my responses, and offered strategies to help me stand out in an interview—methods that 95% of other candidates are not utilizing. He excels at giving reassuring feedback along with clear steps for improvement. When he shares model answers, they are excellent, easy to follow, and simple to replicate.
Preparing for IELTS alongside a demanding legal career felt daunting—until I started working with Alex. As a lawyer from a non-native English-speaking country, I’m thrilled to have achieved an IELTS Academic score of 8.0, far exceeding the 6.5 I needed.
His mock speaking sessions were especially valuable, offering insightful feedback that revealed areas I hadn’t been aware of—skills I now use both professionally and personally. In the writing section, we worked through each task together, covering every aspect of the assessment criteria, which truly sharpened my approach.
Alex is organised, insightful, and genuinely expert in all things IELTS. His targeted strategies and the practical resources he shared after every class made all the difference. I couldn’t recommend him more highly.Alex is a personable and hard-working English tutor who values his students and their progress. I'd recommend him to anybody who wants to learn with an experienced teacher.
I worked with Alex in London at a marketing agency and what stood out was his ability to communicate effectively, which I can see translating into his tutoring. He’s also passionate about forming strong relationships with his clients and delivering value for them. Definitely recommend!
I met Alex through a mutual friend, and we occasionally catch up in Bangkok over a game of tennis. He’s a genuinely kind and approachable person who is easy to get along with. Above all, I recommend him for his reliability, which I’m sure translates directly into his tutoring practice.
Alex has been a great teacher. It is very clear he takes his time and effort into our sessions. I felt very comfortable and he ensured our session matched the pace I was learning at.
Thanks again Alex, highly recommended!Alex is a great listener and really takes pride in his teaching. Alex takes all the information on board and delivers the best possible teaching experience, and can be trusted 100% with any education needs.
I’ve known Alex since childhood and have watched him grow both as a friend and as a professional. We often catch up as sauna buddies whenever he’s in the area. I wholeheartedly recommend him as a trustworthy individual who genuinely values his students and prioritises their progress.
I worked with Alex for more than six months in 2021. He’s a great worker, honest, and very reliable. A fantastic person with a constant smile and a positive attitude towards others. Alex also helped me improve my English, and he has a great teaching method.
I met Alex in 2017 when he began as an English teacher in Auckland, New Zealand.
He’s very personable, hard-working, and adaptable. He’s also very empathetic and relates with his students well, both of which I think are critical traits when looking for a language teacher.
I can highly recommend him to anyone looking for a personalised and fun learning experience.I've known Alex since October 2022 and while he has been living in Perth, WA.
He is a hard-working English tutor and a good friend. I can guarantee anyone looking for a top tutor will be in good hands if they study with him.I found Alex's profile which stood out because of his proven experience teaching IELTS. I reached out to him to request assistance to improve my score for this exam and increase my grade in a short 2/3 week time-frame. He responded immediately in a friendly and professional manner and from there we setup private sessions where he has been guiding me through home-tutoring classes and I am feeling confident that his blended teaching approach will allow me to achieve the results I want!
I've had the privilege of knowing and adventuring with Alex for quite some time, and I can confidently say that he's one of the most positive, inspiring, motivated, and driven individuals I've ever met. Our shared adventures have been filled with incredible moments, and it's no surprise that he's just as passionate about what he does as he is about exploring the world.
Alex has an extraordinary ability to infuse positivity into every situation. His enthusiasm and boundless energy are contagious, and he has a unique talent for turning even the most ordinary moments into memorable adventures. Whether we're embarking on a hiking expedition, a road trip, or simply a coffee catch-up, his zest for life shines through.
Alex has excellent communication skills and is very patient and thorough in his methodology . Extemely diligent and goes above and beyond to help his students with English along with life skills he's gained through his travels and experience. I highly recommend him . Great help and an all around great bloke .
I spent time working with Alex, as a director at one of the UK's top marketing and communications firms. He led on work for some of our largest global clients, using the English language across different contexts to help audiences understand complex ideas - and, in the end, create great business outcomes for clients. He was also diligent, a great communicator, and easy to work with. His background in business and ever-growing teaching experience are what separate him from others, making him an outstanding choice as a teacher.
I was looking for an English tutor for my little brother who needed to pass his IELTS test. Upon getting in contact with Alex, we informed him of my brother's learning difficulties due to his dyslexia. Alex has gone above and beyond in adapting his style and accommodating to my brother's difficulties to help him achieve his goal. He even suggested going on walks to have conversations about the IELTS requirements to my brother who learner better that way, and he also was extremely diligent and helpful with the reading and writing practice.
