Based on what you know about Aristotle, do you think Alexander had listened carefully to his tutor?

I  have been researching Aristotle and his teachings towards Alexander, and it seems as if Alexander listened to Aristotle very much. Alexander was a very well educated man and Aristotle was one of the smartest people of his generation. He had written about 150 philosophical treatises in many studies like philosophy, zoology, science, and even some meteorology. He has made many theories without error, and he was considered an icon of difficult philosophical thinking. Since Aristotle is considered to be an icon of thinking, I am sure that Alexander listened very carefully to his tutor. Aristotle knew a lot about how the mind works and how people think, so I am sure that Alexander listened to his tutor. Alexander turned out to be an extremely intelligent man who was an excellent leader and thinker about fighting and taking over empires, I am pretty positive that he got some of his thoughts about how to take over large empires and lead an extremely successful army to success from his tutor, Aristotle. Alexander knew exactly what to do under a lot of pressure, he knows exactly what was right from wrong in the war sense, and he was an unbelievable leader. I am sure that Aristotle not only educated him with math and science work, but also ideas in philosophy and how to deal with right from wrong, since he was forced to take power at such a young age. Aristotle must have had a great deal of advice and education that he gave to Alexander at a young age so he could be a good leader without knowing that with Aristotle's advice, Alexander would create the largest empire known at that time.
