Sometimes you need the best. Whether it’s for you or your kid, I’m here to help you turbocharge your learning. I take great pride in my work and in delivering you nothing but the best results. I do this by structuring engaging, personally tailored lessons that help utilize your strengths to cover any holes in your knowledge, and in allowing you to reach your full potential. I bring a deep knowledge of the subjects at hand and make the process engaging and, dare I say, even fun! Back in middle school, I ended up helping my peers with nearly every subject (In Russia, copying other people’s work is an unfortunate legacy of communism. I had LONG lines of people wanting to see mine!). When I finished high school with all A+’s (I kid you not!) I moved from a village in a remote corner of Russia to by far the best college in the country (Moscow State University), which was quite an adjustmen ... read more

As a Literacy Professional, I have a decade of experience teaching adults to read. My specialty was in showing volunteer tutors how to teach dyslexic adults and adolescents. I was instrumental in establishing both the first Workplace ESL program in Carson and in supporting dropouts in the community. When I left the program to do research, I had satellite programs running from Lomita to Inglewood.
I am a direct teacher. I look for what works and try not to use what doesn't work for too long. Especially when dealing with dyslexics, too much "teaching" has led to failure. I like nothing better than to grapple with a problem until it is resolved. This may imply that I am a more tactile learner myself, but I have seen that I am balanced on all three major learning style fronts. My students have noted that I give good, if off-beat, examples which stick in their heads. These odd- ... read more

I am very flexible and very patient. My teaching style varies with every student, depending on his or her needs and ability. I think that every student can shine. As a tutor/teacher you can make this happen, and that is a reward in itself.
World literature and foreign languages are my greatest passions. I love to read and to write. In addition, I like to tutor and teach. I have taught adult classes, but teenagers are my favorite students. Here in the United States, I have become a paraprofessional in special education.

I believe any child has the ability to do anything in the world if they are given the opportunity and necessary skills. Many times educators falter because they have been teaching so long that they forget a student’s mindset is different. I believe that a great educator will listen to the needs and strengths of the student directly from the student to help detect what is preventing the student from completely mastering a particular skill. This is why I incorporate all learning styles into my teaching not for the purpose of being redundant but to allocate the best learning style and expose the student to other undiscovered learning styles. My goal is to provide the best education experience for our future leaders.
Coming from a family of educators has greatly influenced my admiration and passion in education. This passion has in-turn helped me earn my bachelor in Criminal Justice an ... read more

More About This Tutor...

I enjoy being able to share the knowledge that I have accumulated during my years of life and education. I am generally able to frame information in a way that is mentally accessible to all students so that they can grasp it for themselves. I believe in allowing the student to take ownership of their learning so that they can be proud of what they have accomplished. With confidence and good self-esteem, a student's opportunities are endless.
During my years at Gannon University, I tutored for the state-funded CAAP program. I tutored college students in English Composition, French, Spanish, Theology, Philosophy. I also had the opportunity to tutor an elementary student in Math, English, Science and Theology for 2 years. I have a BA in Philosophy and Psychology with minors in French and Political Science from this university and had wished to pursue the BA in French from the Universi ... read more

More About This Tutor...

As the eldest of five children, I have a life of experience working with children and teaching has always been a part of my life, even before I began working in education professionally. I believe that all students should be treated with respect and professionalism and I believe that this is the basis of any good educational approach. I also find that understanding a particular student's needs and learning style is essential. I often employ the Socratic method of teaching students, using questions to elicit thought-provoking discussion of materials.
In 2005, I graduated Summa Cum Laude from Carroll College with a BA in English Writing and Literature. During this time I was awarded membership into six National Honors Societies for academic excellence in various studies, including English Writing, English Literature and Philosophy. After graduating, I entered into Graduate Studies in ... read more
