Hi, I'm James Alonso.

3-time UK Rubik's cube Champion and 9-time National Record breaker. I global 5.8ish.

I offer 1-1 Sessions & Written 3x3 Coaching from Β£27.

Backstory of SolveBoost

I originally designed SolveBoost with the primary goal of providing genuinely high quality cubing coaching that I believed the internet was lacking. After receiving some overwhelmingly positive feedback on my Written coaching services (Lite & Classic), I began offering more traditional 1-1 video call Sessions, to cater for those who prefer interacting face to face and asking questions along the way.

Having progressed through all the stages of CFOP improvement myself over my 7-year competitive cubing journey, I know the feeling all too well of being stuck. From bad solving habits and intimidating algorithm sets, to mental barriers and competition nerves, no YouTube tutorial seemed to understand my 3x3 struggles. Sometimes I couldn't pinpoint it either.

If you're currently in a similar position, and averaging between 6 and 45 seconds, I guarantee that I have a package that will get you to that next big 3x3 milestone you're dreaming of.

"I'd say I've dropped my global by 0.3 - 0.4 down to sub-7 since joining SolveBoost so it's definitely been worth it!"

- Danny (via Discord)

"By using Jalonso's coaching for just a few weeks (especially the cross + 1 & PLL drills), my times went from 11 seconds to 9.5, and I can see even more improvement coming."

- Kendall (via Discord)

”I already went from averaging 13.5 to low 13 to mid 12, and my new PB average is 10.20 because of SolveBoost.”
