Hi everyone. My name is Alex. I live in Montreal, Canada and I’ve been teaching English for more than 10 years. I studied English translation and interpreting into French and Russian. I love technology, pop culture and occasionally do some programming in my free time. I was born in an ethnically diverse family and am fully bilingual.
Ich als Lehrkraft
Students love working with me because I know how to spark interest in the new language and for my ability to speak at their level. Yes, even if they don’t know a single word in English, there is always a way to start communicating and learning. In the end it becomes fun and productive at the same time.
My experience and sincere interest in people help me stay on the same wavelength with my students and give them confidence which they need so much to start communicating. I can proudly say that my students have successfully started their foreign degrees, aced their interviews or migrated to English-speaking countries, all thanks to our learning time spent together.
Meine Stunden und mein Unterrichtsstil
I tailor my lessons individually according to student’s needs, desire and ability. Together we constantly adjust the program to suit them even better. Apart from speaking and using materials our lessons might involve some games, memory tasks or drawing.
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.

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!

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.
