It is with absolute pleasure that I recommend Alessandra for private tutoring for any of the programs offered by the Miami Wine Academy. She helped me tremendously in understanding the structures of the WSET Advanced test and HOW to approach the ever so daunting “Short Answer Questions”. She is very thorough in not only what information to give but how to deliver it on paper. With the private toutoring she will cater to your personal needs. Geography, tasting, wine making processes, service, you name it she is a pro! Alessandra makes things very approachable and easy to understand, she is both a verbal as well as visual instructor which I think is incredibly important, as everyone learns differently.
I am a wine professional myself and Alessandra made herself very flexible with regards to scheduling our time together which was key for me. I visited the Academy for tutoring and we also had sessions on Skype which was equally as helpful. Weather you are a beginner or a seasoned wine professional, I highly recommend Alessandra for help on any areas and at any level. She is truly fantastic! I look forward to taking my next certification at the Academy! See you soon 🙂

I highly recommend the tutoring sessions provided by Alessandra as they are a great supplement to strengthen and bring further understanding of what can be difficult wine concepts. Alessandra, with her vast knowledge of wine, is keen on easily communicating and making sense of these concepts and genuinely interested in each student’s success. Definitely well worth the value!

Private or semi-private tutoring sessions with Alessandra Esteves, DipWSET, Director of Wine Education and co-founder of Florida Wine Academy are an invaluable asset to any wine and/or spirit student seeking positive results on the course exams. Her vast knowledge, coupled with an engaging teaching style make for “pleasant, easy learning.” Topics to be covered are either chosen by the student(s) and/or suggested by Alessandra (in this case, often based on her extensive experience with the examination process). Sessions can be individual or small group and are pocket book-friendly, especially when semi-private. I highly recommend this personalized review process with outstanding wine and spirit educator Alessandra Esteves to students of all levels.
N.B. Alessandra is also a French Wine Scholar, has a Champagne Master Level, Master of Rioja DOCa, WSET Level 1 in Sake and an attorney, just saying!

I highly recommend tutoring sessions. The items covered in tutoring were extremely helpful for the exam. If you need to sharpen your knowledge before the exam, do a couple of private tutoring sessions. You won’t regret it. Thanks again Alexandra.
