"Hello! My name is Mariya, and I’m a math major with over eight years of tutoring experience working with students across the U.S. and internationally. I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Mathematics from Bowdoin College, where I graduated with honors. I have also completed advanced coursework in statistics, applied mathematics, and education from Princeton University. I hold a Master's in International Relations from the Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy at Tufts University, where I took advanced courses in econometrics, corporate finance, and international business. Over the years, I’ve tutored learners from elementary through college levels, helping them excel in a wide range of subjects — including pre-algebra, algebra, geometry, trigonometry, and calculus. Many of my students have gone on to raise their grades significantly, earn higher standardized test scores, and build lasting confidence in their problem-solving skills.

Beyond mathematics, I bring a unique global perspective to my teaching as a diplomat. My professional background has allowed me to work and communicate with individuals from diverse cultures and educational systems, which has strengthened my cultural competence and adaptability. I understand that every student’s learning journey is different, and I tailor my approach to meet each person’s needs. My tutoring style emphasizes conceptual understanding, clear explanations, and step-by-step reasoning. I focus on helping students not only master the material, but also develop critical thinking and study skills that serve them well beyond math class. Whether you’re preparing for an exam, catching up on coursework, or looking to get ahead, I aim to make our sessions supportive, engaging, and results-driven." less...
