"Alex is extremely knowledge, organized, and has excellent teaching methods."

"Again with much patience, Alex helps me understand Russian better every lesson!!"

"Great attitude and grammar explanations!

"I’ve been seeing Alex once a week for over a year now, and seen my Russian speaking skills improve dramatically and my colloquial vocabulary significantly expanded. Alex is patient, polite and extremely personable, he intuitively understands the level you are at and matches his teaching style to align to your needs. For me this means speaking slowly, noting relevant vocabulary on a google doc and providing translation exercises that are appealing and engaging. He gives his full attention and perfectly recalls prior lessons which is remarkable given how many students he currently teaches. Coupled with his musical abilities and video editing capabilities, he could also teach a class on diligence and dedication."

"Alex is a character - good humored and clever. Russian isn't an easy language but he's totally sympathetic with this student's struggles. If you can go with his flow, you'll go places that language lovers love!"

"Alex gives great explanations and is always helpful, the materials he has produced himself are also very good alongside the home work. I cannot imagine progressing as fast without him!"

"Very good patience, I was not on my game at this lesson and he was very good in filling in for my lack of homework practice."

"Alex is an excellent teacher! My confidence in speaking Russian has increased exponentially since I started my online lessons a few months ago. Russian grammar is complicated and I still make mistakes but our meandering discussions about various topics help the knowledge stick. Using Google Docs to take notes, and practice in real time is smart! Alex has a great sense of humour, is personable, and adaptable to the needs of his students. If you want to learn Russian, and have fun on the way - Alex is your guy!"
