First things first: Alex is just an extremely warm, friendly and easy going guy - everybody will get along great with him. As for his teaching style: for me as an absolute beginner its the perfect match. He is extremely patient and gives great feedback. What I think really distinguishes him is the clear structure of his course, which really helps me a beginner. 100% recommended, one of the best - if not the best - teaching experiences on Italki so far!

There are many things that make this teacher unique: -lessons are well structured and organised -lessons are customised and based on the individual student's progress -a genuine interest in teaching - the teacher is very reliable and tactful -lessons are interesting, help practise multiple skills

What a lesson!! Right off the back, this teacher gauged my level and with high precision started making adjustments and helping me progress. This teacher is a "MUST-BOOK" instructor. Highly prepared and well-learned. Alexander was very caring and attentive. You will thank me if you book his lesson.

Great first lesson! Alex is a wonderful and patient teacher who answers every question and makes learning fun and engaging. Even when I make mistakes, he doesn't make me feel uncomfortable or stupid. I’m definitely motivated to learn more. Thank you so much!

Professional, affable, knowledgeable, patient and prepared. Lessons are guided, but at your own pace. Happy to answer all my grammar questions, down to the minutia. Imparts information in an easily digestible manner. I highly recommend Alexander as a Russian teacher.

Always a great attitude and very patient. He makes the lessons fun but also very structured at the same time so you see your progress. It’s only been my 3rd lesson but I know we will have many more to come.
