I am writing to highly recommend Alex as a tutor. Over the past year, Alex has provided outstanding academic support to my two sons in English and other subjects. Alex is an exceptional educator who tailors lessons to the individual needs of the student. With his guidance, our son successfully achieved a place at one of London’s top academic schools.

Alex tutored my daughter for her A-level Art History. He was fantastic! The lessons were very well planned, thought-provoking, and brought the art to life. My daughter really enjoyed the lessons. It became her favourite A-level by far, and this was due to Alex's tuition.

I asked her for feedback to inform this review. She said the lessons were amazing and there was no way she could have achieved an A without them.

Alex is very professional and was great at tailoring content to whichever part of the sylabus my daughter was struggling with.

I highly recommend Alex to other parents.

Alex tutored my daughter in preparing for her interview and application to Cambridge to read Art History. She enjoyed her tutoring sessions with him and found them inspiring. I would absolutely recommend Alex as a tutor.

Alex Lass has been guiding our daughter through A-levels a few years ago and he made the decisive difference to going it on her own. It was Alex`s focus on structuring responses that has benefitted our daughter the most - and this is a legacy that she benefits from to these university days.

Alex was a wonderful inspiration to Antonia who had struggled with poor mental health after the sudden death of her father. He encouraged and supported her in her first year at The Courtauld studying History of Art, helping her to structure her essays into clear and cogent arguments. He also gave her the confidence to express her own individual thoughts based on her extensive reading. I could not recommend Alex more highly.

I am a professionally qualified accountant. Clear, concise communication is essential in my role, especially when I advocate for solutions to issues facing my client organisations. Alex helped me sharpen how I structure my thinking and oral presentation, focusing on the key issues and expressing them in pithy, persuasive and precise statements. The impact has been noticeable: I am more confident in meetings, my recommendations land more effectively, and collaboration with colleagues and clients is smoother day to day.

Alex is engaging, compassionate, and experienced. He worked so patiently and conscientiously with my son Zack, who has ADHD and anxiety, and he got Zack’s quirks immediately. We’ve had a few residential tutors over the past few years to give both my sons support in their weaker subjects, and Alex is by far the best tutor we’ve come across in the range of subjects he covered.

Alex and I discussed a priority list of subjects, topics, and a timeline beforehand and specific techniques to keep Zack focused. He progressed through each one methodically, giving Zack breaks when he lost focus and always following a systematic routine to ensure Zack knew exactly what the targets were each session. He slowed down when he felt Zack hadn’t grasped a topic properly and adjusted the timetable to cover the most important areas of the syllabus that he thought Zack would struggle to cover on his own. He was calm, patient, systematic, and an absolute pleasure to have stay.

Being older and more experienced than the graduates we’ve had in the past and yet still enjoying tutoring as a counterpoint to his Barrister study, it was clear that Alex found it rewarding and enjoys the one-to-one dynamic of tutoring students.
