About

I’m a Moscow State University graduate (Physicist, 2006) with 23+ years of tutoring experience. I help Grades 6–12 and first-year university students build real understanding and exam-ready skills in Math and Physics. My students prepare for GCSE/IGCSE, A-level, IB SL/HL, AP (Calculus AB/BC, Physics 1/C), and SAT.

Lessons are structured and efficient: short concept recap, guided examples, targeted problem sets, timed practice, and feedback with an error log. You receive tidy notes, homework with worked solutions, and a simple progress tracker. I teach online via Zoom with an interactive whiteboard, Desmos/GeoGebra, PhET, and light Python visuals. Parents get brief progress updates. I explain ideas clearly first, then train speed and accuracy—so confidence and grades rise together.

Teaching Style

 

  • Diagnostic first lesson → goals & tailored plan.

  • Weekly flow: recap → guided examples → targeted drills → timed exam practice → feedback & error-log.

  • Tools: Zoom, interactive whiteboard + pen, Desmos/GeoGebra, PhET sims, light Python; shared notes, homework w/ worked solutions, progress tracker.

  • Assessment: past papers & short quizzes; brief parent updates.
