Alex is an excellent communicator who strives to assist his students to achieve academic excellence by providing focused guidance and steadfast support. He adopts a holistic approach to tutoring, as he believes having an understanding of student's motivation, study habits and goals are critical for a students success.

Biography:

Alex grew up in Lindfield, Sydney, attending Holy Family Lindfield from Kindergarten until Year 5. He attended St Ignatius’ College from Year 5 to Year 8, however looking for a greater focus on music and academics transitioned to Sydney Grammar for the remainder of high school. Despite his aptitude and avid interest in languages and music, Alex has decided to pursue medicine at Sydney University, one of thirty students selected to study in the 7 year postgraduate program. When not studying, Alex enjoys running, weightlifting and participating in University basketball. He also plays violin in the Sydney University Orchestra and the Kuringau Youth Orchestra, and volunteering with Anglicare Aged Care home.

Testimonials:

I have had a fantastic experience with Alex and Premier Tutors. Alex is a brilliant tutor and teacher who is very considerate of the pace of his lessons, which has greatly helped me understand the content. This was something I found lacking in previous services, where tutors moved too quickly. Alex pays deliberate attention to detail, not just asking if I understand, but also having questions prepared in advance to test my comprehension. I really appreciate this approach. Before starting with Premier Tutors, achieving my goal of 90% in Mathematics was challenging. Now, I consistently hit this target. I've seen a significant improvement in my ability to tackle difficult exam-style questions, and I've also benefited from Alex's mentoring across my other subjects. The team at Premier Tutors has been extremely helpful, providing excellent and coherent customer service. Unlike my previous tutoring providers, where customer service was slow and inflexible, Premier Tutors responds almost instantly, and it's easy to reschedule lessons when needed. I am truly grateful for the efforts made to accommodate my needs. Alex is sharp in his approach, adapting his teaching to my personal strengths and weaknesses rather than following a one-size-fits-all method. He comes to lessons exceptionally well-prepared, clearly dedicating time to personalise my learning experience. The difference in the amount of progress I make with Alex compared to my previous tutor is like night and day. With Alex and Premier Tutors' support, I feel very confident going into my exams.
