I highly recommend Alexandra as a maths tutor, she is professional and keeps my 8years old daughter engaged and focused throughout the class. She does evaluate child's abilities and focuses on covering weaker areas, gives some extra work to do if required. Alex is always ready to adjust and go an extra mile if necessary and that is much appreciated.
