Well, his illness did interuppt his education, that is true. I think he was studious enough, intelligent, and perhaps his hemophilia made him understand people better rather just abstract things.I don't how much math he was taught. Military education was important indeed in the training of the heir to the throne, and that was always paramount.

In regards to the tutors he had...not being very distinquished, is it possible the tutors chosen had to do with Alexei's illness, and keeping it a secret?  After all if the tutors were just average people, they could be more easily kept from spilling the secret if they found out. idk, it made sense in my head...it seems like what i just wrote made no sense.

To me that makes sense, though I don't really know how to put it in words.

You have to remember that this was a very well guarded secret. Only a few people knew about the true nature of his illness, and it is likely that didn't include his tutors. It tooks years for Gilliard to find out what was actually wrong with Alexei (he only found out after the events at Spala) and although I can't truly account for Gibbes or Petrov, it is likely they didn't know the whole truth.

Well Gilliard didn't actually start teaching Alexei until after Spala anyway.

Still, he had had contact with the family since 1905 and officially started tutoring the girls in 1909. It wasn't until Spala that he found out about the exact nature of Alexei's illness, meaning that he had worked for the family officially for about 3 years before being told.
