Alex
Computer Programming, Karate, Music, and General Ed Tutor
As a professional Karate instructor for five years with a second degree black belt in Wado Karate, I have experience tutoring students of all ages, both in large groups and individually.

Alex is a very knowledgeable person in the world of C++. We had two sessions and he taught me how to write programming in a way that I understood. I would recommend anyone who wants to learn C++ to work with Alex.
Joyce H. from Renton, WA
Alex is very patient, friendly and knowledgeable! On every tutoring section, he is always on time and jumps right in with the subject. I highly recommend Alex as a tutor.
Jennifer N. from Bellevue, WA
My son, in two lessons, has already improved his grade in Math, but more importantly his confidence is soaring. He instantly felt a connection with Alex, and is excited to learn. Also, Alex has been flexible and very responsive. We wouldn't change a thing!
Eeshan K. from Seattle, WA
He helped me with the pre-work for the CSS Graduate Certificate in Software Design and Development (GCSDD) at UW-Bothell. I learned a lot with his help!

Johanna S. from Kirkland, WA
Alex is cheerful, patient, keeps my son engaged and on task as they work on an advanced pre-algebra course. He has the most disarming way of pointing out mistakes in a way that encourages and motivates as much as when he's praising correct answers! Alex has a clear love of both math and teaching, and my son--usually a tough cookie--was so happy after his first lesson, he couldn't wait for Alex to come back. Really thrilled to have found him.
Brian K. from Seattle, WA
I decided to switch careers recently, and went back to college to become a web programmer. (My background is in journalism and music, mind you). I was having some issues in my C# class and in just a few lessons Alex has helped me fully understand (not just memorize in a sort of "cut-and-paste" manner) the concepts I was struggling with. Highly recommended tutor.
Rebecca T. from Redmond, WA
Alex showed up promptly and went through the classwork thoroughly, explaining all the things that were misunderstood. He was very encouraging, and helpful.
Michelli S. from Bellevue, WA
He knows how to explain well and break down the explanation until the student gets it! I am glad my daughter has his help.
Deborah H. from Mercer Island, WA
Our son needed a math tutor but was a little nervous about it. Alex very quickly established a positive rapport and by the end of the session, my son was a fan and is looking forward to the next session. I appreciate how responsive, flexible and professional Alex is.
Phil N. from Edmonds, WA
Today was my fourth meeting with Alex. I have found him to be extremely knowledgeable and very adept at communicating his knowledge. I have a much better understanding of Java because of him. He makes very efficient use of the time we have. I would highly recommend him.
YING P. from Kirkland, WA
He helped me finish a very tough problem by adding very long strings up. Also, under his instruction, I got two methods on this Sum problem. Really appreciated such a responsible teacher.
Jon A. from Seattle, WA
We reviewed constructors, abstraction, and inheritance and worked through examples of each. Alex did a good job of explaining (and re-explaining) the concepts and helping me to understand how each piece should be implemented.
Raisa M. from Redmond, WA
Having Alex as a CS tutor has been great. He knows how to break down every concept so it is easy to understand. With Alex's help I've gained more confident solving challenging CS problems.
Michael S. from Grosse Pointe, MI
Alex is extremely patient and knowledgeable when it comes to Programming and it is easy to get in contact with him. I have yet to encounter any problems working with him.
Suzanne B. from Redmond, WA
Alex was very flexible (we had to adjust our start time on the day of!) and we really appreciated it. My daughter liked Alex and they made a lot of progress in 2 hours. They already have a second session booked. We are very pleased with the way things are going.
