“…I reached out to Alex in regards to my completion of my TESOL certification. He was very Intelligent, Patient, he took the time to listen to my concerns and fears. He encouraged, me and explained content with an approach I had never thought of. I felt embarrassed being in the education field for so long, needing the help, but he assured me it was normal, because my passion was to succeed and elevate my students. Alex took my passion and built upon it, and inspired me to reach new heights in my teaching career; as I embark to work with international students. He was willing to share and receive resources. He continues to push me to learn more, and different ways to improve. I highly recommend Alex for any endeavor he seeks.
