My Mission
I have gained a wide arsenal of tools and techniques from studying at elite private schools in Russia, a public high school in the U.S., academic after school programs, all manner of holiday and summer boot camps, elite math and other competitions, undergraduate studies, and graduate school.
I have tutored many students of different ages and academic backgrounds in a variety of subjects from high school to graduate level. I know how to find students’ knowledge gaps and help shore them up quickly and efficiently. I understand very well what it takes to get perfect scores on standardized tests and how to set up deliberate and efficient study and practice. And I enjoy teaching my students, motivating them to put in the work, and seeing them succeed.
I can help tutor you or your child for the SAT or another standardized test and help improve your scores. And maybe even get into the top 1%.
You, the test taker, will have to do quite a bit of hard work, but if you do, I guarantee that you WILL improve!
Dare to know, my friends!
