Education:

Don State Technical University, Faculty of Informatics and Computer Engineering — Bachelor’s degree in Web Development.

Additional training in iOS Development and the Swift programming language at Netology.

Background:

Alexander’s interest in app development began while he was still at school. His first app was a school project that he presented during his final years of study. After seeing the project through from an idea to a working result, he decided to develop his skills further and completed a full course in iOS development.

Today, Alexander has several of his own apps published on the App Store. This experience allows him to show students that programming is not just about learning a language or following instructions — it is about turning an idea into something real.

In his classes, Alexander focuses on finding what motivates each student and adapting his approach accordingly. He uses clear examples and relatable analogies to make new concepts easier to understand, while giving students plenty of opportunities to practise and experiment. When something feels difficult, he helps students work through it rather than simply giving them the answer.

His goal is to make technology feel accessible and exciting, so that students leave the lesson not only having learned something new, but also wanting to keep exploring.

Personal side:

Alexander is fascinated by the role that communication and new connections play in people’s lives. He is currently developing his own app designed to help people meet others and find new social connections — an idea that grew from his belief that many opportunities in life begin with simply meeting the right people.

He also enjoys sports, especially because many activities are more fun when you have someone to share them with. This idea of bringing people together is one of the reasons he finds his app project particularly meaningful.

Alexander’s natural communication skills also shape his teaching style. He creates a relaxed and welcoming atmosphere where students feel comfortable asking questions, making mistakes and trying again. For him, a good lesson is not only about learning — it is also about creating an environment where a child feels confident enough to explore.

"Programming is more than writing code. It is the ability to turn ‘What if…?’ into ‘It works!’ I believe children don’t need ready-made answers — they need the tools and confidence to discover things for themselves. Every line of code brings them one step closer to creating something that is truly their own."
