"As a graduate student at UPenn’s Chemistry Department, I won Teaching and Academic Awards and graduated in 1997 with a Ph.D. top of the class.

My MS in Theoretical Physics I received from TSU (Tbilisi State University, Georgia, former USSR) where I graduated with honors in 1976. My undergraduate research in Special Relativity won awards and was subsequently published.

I also have studied for 11 years at a conservatory prep. Central Music School (classic violin, top 5% graduate, 1970, Tbilisi, Georgia).

Among the subjects I taught in my 8+ years of college instruction were:

Physics : from Intro up to graduate level courses in General and Theoretical Physics

Mathematics: pre-Algebra to Calculus1, General Chemistry, Physical Chemistry; Classes sizes - from 5 to over 100

For 5 years I have been teaching at private HS. (in class and online) Algebra, Trigonometry, Physics, Calculus1, Chemistry, Biology) Class sizes 5 to 20. Successfully worked with students’ with learning issues

I have been tutoring (at middle, HS and college levels) for 10 years Algebra, Trigonometry, Precalculus, Calculus 1 and 2, Algebra-and-Calculus based General Physics, AP Physics, General Chemistry; SAT preparation

I also conducted private Violin lessons (beginners and intermediate, ages 6 to 12)." less...
