Experienced tutor from Ireland, specialising in intermediate to advanced students. • Hi! I’m Alex from Northern Ireland, and I can’t wait to help you power up your English! • I’m completing a PhD in Sociology at Trinity College Dublin, and completed my master's at the University of Oxford.

I have also taught various modules in sociology and social theory at Trinity College Dublin, so I have a very firm grounding in general teaching methods. I am flexible and eager to tailor my classes to each student’s preferences. These are the methods I normally use: 1.) Structured conversation.

Alex is a very nice person, it is always a pleasure to converse with him, he is never boring. His solid background makes him an educated person. He helps you and suggests different ways to formulate a sentence and corrects you when you make mistakes. He is patient even if you need time to formulate a sentence. Super super recommended!!!

Wonderful class, one thing is to know the meaning of the words, another to understand the meaning, in the today's class I understand many words and expressions. Thanks Alex.
