Alex Starostin

Alex was instrumental in my IELTS preparation, particularly with the writing and speaking sections. As a former examiner, he has extensive knowledge of the assessment criteria and what examiners expect from test-takers. Recently, I took the IELTS exam and achieved a remarkable overall score of 8.0 (Listening: 8.5, Reading: 9, Writing: 7, Speaking: 7). This success would have been impossible without Alex's expert guidance. I highly recommend him to anyone aiming to excel in IELTS, other English exams, or simply looking to improve their English proficiency.

Alex is an excellent teacher that always tries to get the best out of you. He's truly helpful and supportive, so it's easy to talk with him even if you don't speak English very well. I'm sure, you'll become more comfortable and fluent in English speaking after a few of his lessons. Thank you Alex! Looking forward to our next lesson.

Alex provided an excellent methodology for preparing speaking, and he’s very patient and friendly.

There is a jubilee today! I have had with Alex exactly 100 classes! I have definitely improved because of these lessons, especially in my speaking skills. I remember that when we started, I would frequently pause while speaking because I couldn't express my thoughts. Now, I almost never do that. My listening skills have improved as well. A year ago, the company where I work held a town hall meeting. The speakers spoke in English, and I understood almost nothing. So, I was bored and fiddled with my smartphone instead of listening. Ten months later, I went to a week-long conference, and I understood speakers much better in general. So, I can see results and highly recommend studying English with Alex to you!
