O Alex ajudou-me a rever e melhorar a minha tese de mestrado, escrita em inglês e na área de engenharia. Foi incansável ao longo de todo o processo, sempre extremamente disponível e empenhado em melhorar o documento, mesmo tendo pouca familiaridade com a área técnica em questão.

O resultado foi excelente, tendo a qualidade da escrita sido inclusivamente destacada na avaliação da tese. Recomendo vivamente o Alex pela sua dedicação, atenção ao detalhe e qualidade do trabalho!

I have been working with Alex Grindulis for a few years on the proofreading and language editing of scientific papers, and my experience has always been very positive. His work is consistently careful and thorough, with detailed reviews and constructive suggestions to improve the clarity and overall quality of our manuscripts. These suggestions are discussed between us, making the process collaborative and productive. I particularly appreciate his professionalism, reliability and quick turnaround times, as well as his approachable and responsive attitude. I would certainly recommend Alex for the quality of his work and the excellent way he collaborates with us. It has always been a pleasure working with him, and we very much hope to continue working together on many more occasions in the future. Mário Ramos (NOVA FCT)

Uma ótima professora, muito simpática e paciente. Recomendo para todos os níveis de aprendizagem, depois de ter experimentado muitos outros professores.

I had the pleasure of working alongside Alex during a UWC summer short course involving 50 teenagers from diverse backgrounds. Throughout the experience, what stood out most was his genuine commitment to helping young people grow, both personally and academically.

Alex is kind, approachable, and an attentive listener who takes the time to understand others and their individual needs. He is always willing to lend a hand, offer encouragement, and create an environment where people feel supported and confident.

Having seen him work with young people firsthand, I can wholeheartedly recommend Alex to anyone looking for an educator who genuinely cares about their students and their development.

As Alex’s peer for several years, I can assure you that Alex is a great teacher, as well as an excellent person. He puts his heart and soul into everything he does, and he always seeks the best way to do things, caring deeply about his students’ progress and staying actively involved in the process. Furthermore, his experience as an experiential educator gives him a methodology and expertise that is quite unusual but highly effective. He is very patient and creative, so he always finds a way to explain things so that you understand and have a clear grasp of the material.
In short, if you want to learn Portuguese, Alex is the teacher for you.

I have worked with Alex on several educational projects and can wholeheartedly recommend him as a tutor. His approach to working with students is creative, kind-hearted and tailored to individual needs. Professional and encouraging, he helps all students find their confidence and achieve their goals.
