Student & Parent Testimonials

  • This was my first time leading a full research project, and Dr. PK guided me from a vague idea to a publishable paper step by step. His feedback was detailed, honest, and always pushed me to think more deeply about my methods and results.

  • Working with Dr. PK completely changed how I see academic research. He broke down complex concepts in statistics and econometrics in a way I could actually apply, and he never let me settle for ‘good enough’ in my drafts.

  • Alex is easily the best tutor I’ve had in any of my modules at SOAS. His willingness to answer every question and make students feel comfortable is unparalleled.

  • After 3 years at SOAS, Alex is comfortably one of the best tutors, if not the best tutor I had during my time. The tutorials were extremely stimulating and interactive, and it was very evident that Alex had real passion for the module. He consistently went above and beyond to support my learning.

    — Final‑year economics student, SOAS

  • Alex made this module, and even the whole term, 10x better through his amazing teaching methods, engagement, and overall support of my studying and future plans. He genuinely brought the material to life and motivated me to go above and beyond; Alex is honestly the best teacher I’ve had in my SOAS experience.
