"I have a world-class education in mathematics and many years of experience teaching it. I graduated summa cum laude from the top Russian technical university with BS and MS degrees in Applied Mathematics. I have continued my studies at the California Institute of Technology and UCSD. I have over 10 years of experience teaching mathematics and over 20 years of tutoring experience.

I have taught mathematics at the middle school and high school levels in private progressive schools for 10 years, including AP classes and classes for gifted and talented children. I have extensive experience working with gifted children and developing their mathematical talents. I specialize in using Art of Problem Solving curriculum, which is arguably the most challenging and creative math curriculum in the US. I prepare students for AMC 10/12, AIME, PSAT National Merit and help optimize their math achievements for college application.

I have taught and tutored all main high school math courses, including Honors and AP courses. I have successfully prepared students for AP Calculus AB and BC, SAT/SSAT Math, ACT and PSAT over the last 15 years.

I have extensive knowledge of various mathematics competitions and have actively participated in them myself. I can structure an effective prep program for any K-12 level math competition. I have successfully prepared students for AMC 8/10/12, AIME, MathLeague, MathCounts, Math Kangaroo, BCA math competition, MOEMS, and many others.

I have many years of experience preparing students for SAT, PSAT/NMSQT, ACT, Regents, and other standardized tests. I have taught successful test prep programs for over 8 years. I can assess student's current level and structure a highly efficient program to achieve the best results in the given timeline. I can set up a program with a sequence of standardized tests tailored for the best college admissions results.

I love teaching mathematics. My students feel my enthusiasm and get inspired to learn and achieve more." less...
