Working with Alex is a joy. Not only is he very professional but also
highly creative and imaginative with a gift for understanding individual
requirements and tailoring his lessons accordingly. He has helped me
enormously, going far beyond my original requests and introducing me to a
world of graphics that I didn't even know existed. All of this with a warm
and easy manner means that I could not recommend him more highly to anyone
looking to further their creative computing skills.
