"I have had the pleasure of Alex being my Business English teacher for several years now. He always comes well-prepared and gives us the right mixture of self-study, pair-work and group-work. The exercises he provides are often given in the form of games, to which he gives a lot of valuable feedback and practical examples. A diligent, well-organized and motivating teacher."
- Vanja Budna Evačič - HR Consultant - Trescon d.o.o., Ljubljana
“It must be quite a challenge to wake up a small group of tired civil servants early in the morning and keep them entertained, focused and willing to learn new vocabulary in all sorts of ways, but Alex succeeded! If I had the choice, I would call Alex and make our classes a regular morning exercise for our brain cells! He moderated very dynamic dialogues in a pleasant and relaxed atmosphere. We joked a lot but learned much more than I had experienced in any of my past language classes.”
- Aleš Oražem - Sales and Consulting Director - Alta Invest d.d., Ljubljana
“My classes with Alex were awesome. I took classes for about four months. Despite the fact that I occasionally had to cancel or move my classes he was very understanding and flexible. He is simply a cool guy! After my classes I feel much more comfortable and confident when speaking English. Overall, from a professional and personal point of view, I strongly recommend Alex to any student who wants tailored support and dedicated attention.”

"Great, refreshing and unique - it was more than just an English course! Alex makes learning English fun and interesting, and it's not just about the language, it's also about the culture, so he brings England a bit closer to you. His teaching approach creates a relaxed environment, where a student can thrive. Hands down the best language class I've had."

"Alex was my English teacher in Ljubljana when I had to prepare for the IELTS exam. Due to the nature of my work, my best option was taking private lessons and I felt very lucky to have found a teacher who was flexible, so we could work around my schedule. The classes were well-structured and relaxed, and adapted to my knowledge of English, progress and goals. I can now proudly say I got an IELTS score of '8' for my exam and was therefore able to pursue my dream of going to university in England. I would definitely recommend Alex to anyone who wishes to learn English from a native speaker, no matter what level or purpose."

I would not hesitate to have him as an English teacher again if possible."

"We took IELTS preparation classes with Alex in Zagreb a few years ago, because we had decided to emigrate to Australia and needed a good score on the exam. Originally we had another teacher preparing us for the IELTS exam, but as we didn't notice any progress within the first couple of weeks, I decided to look for another English instructor. Luckily Alex was recommended to us, and he saved us from failing the exam! We noticed instant progress with Alex, and both of us finally felt more comfortable speaking English, as the speaking part had previously been a nightmare for us. He almost had to drag the words out of our mouths, but somehow he did it! We both did well in the exam (7.5 & 8), but best of all we had a blast with Alex."
- Daniel Miloš & Marina Rostaš, Sydney, Australia
"Alex was my teacher for more than one year in Zagreb and I must say I have very pleasant memories of that time. It was more than just an English course, it was for me, a time where I learned a lot and where I discussed many different subjects with him. He has a very interesting and deep personality. I could study any topics I wished, including words and skills relevant to my profession. I highly recommend him for English courses. At the moment I am studying German and regret not having a German version of Alex teaching me!

"I very much enjoyed the English language courses we had with Alex. He managed to maintain a very friendly and comfortable atmosphere during classes, but always kept things professional. I especially appreciated his individualised approach of giving tasks & homework according to your needs and capabilities, whilst pushing you out of your comfort zone and creating new challenges. My English language skills improved and now I feel much more comfortable using them during my daily work."
- Kaspars Vāvers - Baltic Field Sales Manager - Danone, Rīga, Latvia
"My classes with Alex were awesome. I took classes at my place of work twice a week for almost 3 months, and I am really happy about my improvement. Alex is a very nice and professional English tutor. It is also great that after the end of our regular course Alex is still available and always ready to help with different English tasks via Skype or email. Alex helped me to prepare for job interviews, especially with speaking, and after our Skype lessons I felt more self-confident. Overall, from a professional and personal point of view, I strongly recommend Alex to any student who wants a good teacher and dedicated attention!"
- Baiba Kokina - Senior Accountant - Tele2 SCC, Rīga, Latvia
"Alex is a very nice person and a good teacher as well..! He is open-minded, with a good sense of humour and a calm way of teaching. I took private lessons with him and he definitely improved my English skills, especially speaking and pronunciation. He helps me even now if I ask for some assistance in English grammar (via online conversations). I highly recommend choosing Alex as an English teacher!!!"
