Gabi (Spain) – more than 300 hours of classes since 2020.

My main goal was to be able to have fluent conversations with my clients in English. Despite the time I spent studying at different academies, I couldn’t make any real progress. I was stuck until I started having lessons with Alex. With him, you learn without even realising it, thanks to an effective, creative, and enjoyable methodology. With Alex, a strong teacher–student relationship develops, which makes the classes go very fast. In addition, his helpful advice encourages learning outside the classroom. Alex knows how to correct mistakes without discouraging you, and little by little, I’ve become more confident speaking English, to the point where I can now express myself well.

Viviana (Colombia) – more than 250 hours of classes since 2021.

I have been studying with Alex for more than four years, and I can honestly say he is the best teacher I could have had – especially for a student like me who is stubborn about doing homework. Alex has helped me prepare for new jobs, important meetings, and professional challenges, always adapting the lessons to my real needs. Because of him, my confidence in English has grown a lot. He is patient, well-structured, and truly committed to his students’ progress. I am very thankful to Alex for everything he has helped me achieve.

Camilo (Colombia) – more than 250 hours of classes since 2021.

I have been improving my English with Alex since 2021. The impact on my English has been remarkable. His teaching methods are highly effective, dynamic, and well-structured, making every class engaging and practical. He has helped me improve not only my grammar and vocabulary, but also my confidence when speaking and writing in professional and everyday contexts. What I value the most is his ability to adapt the lessons to my needs, providing clear explanations and useful feedback that really accelerate learning. Thanks to his guidance and commitment, my English level has improved significantly over time. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a teacher who is professional, motivating, and genuinely invested in their students’ progress.

Esther (Spain) – more than 250 hours of classes since 2020.

I’m someone who finds languages difficult, and I have spent a long time attending language schools to improve my comprehension and level. Although the classes were enjoyable, I couldn’t make progress in the areas I struggle with, such as grammar. Thanks to Alex, I’m now building a solid foundation in grammar and improving my writing, as he creates engaging, not too heavy-going ways to learn. Alex corrects us without taking a discouraging approach; on the contrary, he gives advice to help you avoid making the same mistakes again. Thanks to this, I am learning and consolidating my knowledge both theoretically and practically through conversation.

Susanie (Peru) – more than 200 hours of classes since 2020.

I’ve been trying to improve my knowledge of English for many years but with my job and everyday responsibilities, I couldn’t find the time. With online classes, I have been able to find time in my busy schedule for English lessons, and in a few months, I have learnt a lot, improved my confidence and I now feel comfortable speaking in English. In small groups and one-to-one classes, you not only learn grammar, but you also learn in a fun way with interesting topics about everyday life. Alex is an excellent professional and he maximises every class and makes them entertaining. I really recommend him!

Virginia

Virginia (Germany) – more than 100 hours of classes.

I am delighted with my classes with Alex. Before starting classes with him, I had tried learning English with different teachers who gave me a lot of input but I didn’t have the opportunity to speak so much. In my classes with Alex, I get a lot more speaking practice to improve my fluency and confidence. He’s always interested in helping me improve my skills, rather than spending too much time talking himself. He’s very nice and pleasant to learn from, and he has an extraordinary talent for explaining complex grammar. He also uses modern digital tools to make the classes more visual.

Ana (Spain) – more than 100 hours of classes.

Learning English enables me to communicate with people from all over the world when I travel, and it is essential in my profession. Online classes suit me because I can take them from anywhere and I save time because I don’t have to travel to class. This is very convenient when your job and other hobbies take up a lot of your free time. I enjoy online classes with Alex because they are dynamic, varied, and you get to practise listening, reading, vocabulary and, above all, speaking, because fluid conversations continue for the whole class. I recommend online classes with Alex in small groups or one-to-one to anyone who wants to maintain and/or perfect their English and who wants to study from home.

Ángela (Colombia) – more than 100 hours of classes.

Learning English online is a fantastic way that enables you to organise your time around your life. One-to-one online classes with Alex have helped me make significant progress in all the skills you need in English, but especially, I feel more confident having a conversation in English. This is because I have improved my pronunciation a lot thanks to Alex’s dedication and the fact he makes sure his students express themselves correctly. Alex is an excellent teacher who is very organised and he has a very good teaching methodology. The classes are dynamic, fun and effective. Whatever your reason for learning English is, I really recommend online classes because with your own dedication and Alex’s help, you can do it!

Irlanda (Ecuador) – more than 80 hours of classes.

For many years, I have heard people say, ‘it’s never too late to learn’. One day, I decided to follow this advice and I started classes with Alex to improve my love-hate relationship with English, which for me was like a French love song: I liked it but I didn’t understand it! Alex’s classes have helped me to improve significantly in all skills. The key to achieving my objectives was one-to-one classes with Alex, which were adapted to my level. To help me pass my exam, the preparation was very practical and useful, and Alex uses a lot of technology to help you learn. I am making progress with Alex, and I see myself speaking English well in the near future. I totally recommend Alex’s methodology to help you achieve your goals!

Merche (Spain) – more than 60 hours of classes.

I spent 2 years learning English with Alex and I’m delighted because I’ve improved my level considerably by learning online and without having to leave the house. In small groups and one-to-one classes, I’ve been able to interact more and learn more effectively. We work on all skills in class and do a variety of activities for comprehension, production, as well as learning new vocabulary for both speaking and writing, with everything focused on communication. What’s more, Alex is lovely and always asks his students for their opinions so he can help them learn according to their specific needs.

Jenniffer (Colombia) – more than 50 hours of classes.

I started classes with Alex because I wanted to improve my fluency and stop translating in my head. His methodology is dynamic and engaging, and he explains things in a way that makes them easy to apply straight away. Little by little, I’ve become more confident and comfortable expressing myself in English.

Anna (Spain)

Classes with Alex are very dynamic and useful, and especially focus on speaking. Learning online is not in any way a limitation because Alex has a lot of resources and the classes are in small groups or one-to-one, which means you are constantly speaking and the classes are adapted for your specific needs. I’m very happy because I successfully passed my English exam!

Sam (UK) – Teacher of English

I did my teacher training course with Alex in 2009. It was clear from the very start that Alex would become a highly accomplished and professional teacher. He has a calm, reassuring and supportive manner which is certain to give you the confidence you need to succeed in your English language studies. With his wealth of experience and knowledge, you will have a rewarding learning process with Alex.

Bonnie (Canada) – University Tutor

I have known and worked with Alex for a number of years and would not hesitate to recommend him as a teacher of English, be it General English, Business English, English for Academic Purposes, IELTS exam preparation, or all approved English exam courses. His background and experience are impressive; he has worked for the accredited British Council and respected British universities. Alex makes lessons interesting, with a constant focus on meeting student aims and continually responding to linguistic needs. Without exception, every student who has completed one of Alex’s courses has achieved, if not surpassed, his or her target band or grade.

David (UK) – University Tutor

I’ve known Alex since 2017, and I have always found him to be a professional, motivated and hard-working teacher. I have no doubt that if he tutors you, he will help you reach your language-learning goals as quickly as possible. He takes the time to find out what students really need and tailors his lessons accordingly. He can help with exam preparation, speaking and writing skills, or any other English-language needs you may have. He has many years of experience working with Spanish speakers, and he understands their particular needs and difficulties in learning English.

Carmen (UK) – Teacher of English

Alex was a wonderful and supportive colleague whom I worked with at the British Council. He is an excellent communicator, a dedicated, experienced and highly qualified teacher. Alex has a lot of patience and empathy, he is calm and fun to be around and adapts his classes to the individual needs of his students. I continue to discuss professional development and teaching practice with Alex, and I am fortunate to continue to benefit from his academic and business experience. I have no hesitation in recommending him to prospective students and companies. An absolute pleasure to work with and now a great friend.
