"I have a Ph.D. in Mathematics and over 30 years of classroom and tutoring experience teaching Basic Math through Advanced Calculus at universities (Tula State University and Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University) and community colleges (City College of San Francisco, Laney College, College of Marin, Diablo Valley College) as well as in my private tutoring business. I have also tutored math and statistics for the Learning Assistance Center of City College of San Francisco. I have tutored high school through college students.

I love tutoring and truly enjoy helping my students to not just get a better grade, but to really understand the subject matter. My teaching method emphasizes conceptual learning rather than rote memorization. I would like to teach students how to think. I can explain complicated math concepts simply, clearly, and effectively; and I am very patient and never pressure my students. I think you'd enjoy working with me.

I still have the accent (Russian), but most of my students have claimed that this was not a problem for them." less...
