Misha
Content Supervisor and Head Teacher
Hey, guys! I’ve been teaching math for the past 20 years as a tutor, high school teacher and college professor. I have experience tutoring classes from 5th grade algebra to graduate level Dynamical Systems as well as teaching from 7th grade algebra to college-level Statistics and Calculus. I also specialize in training for math competitions – MathCounts, AMC, AIME, USAMO, etc. My two most recent achievements were getting a student from a 2 on practice exams to a 5 on the AP Calculus BC in 2 months and another student from 80 to 110 on AMC 10 in 6 months.

I can’t recommend this math tutoring service enough! I was out of school for weeks due to medical leave and through only 2 sessions I was able to catch up with all of the material. Misha is very engaging and makes even the most complex concepts easy to understand and enjoyable to learn. He is also very patient with his students, creating a comfortable environment where asking questions is encouraged. If you’re looking for a tutor who is not only knowledgeable, but also engaging and passionate about teaching math, then look no further. My experience has been incredibly positive and I’ve seen significant improvement in my understanding of math concepts since starting sessions here!

Misha tutored my daughter for math enrichment. I recommend him strongly as a math tutor! He is a patient and engaging teacher. Watching my daughter's sessions with him, I observed that he has a skill for explaining concepts in a clear way, and he was in tune with what concepts she was able to grasp or not, and he was flexible enough to be able to explain concepts from a different angle on the fly, when needed. He did a great job of helping guide my elementary school-aged daughter to work through math problems while drawing out and helping her access and strengthen her own natural abilities and problem-solving skills.

I personally started working with Misha later in my junior year, when I transferred schools. I was put in AP calc, and had to cram for roughly 2-3 months right before the test and starting from, as far as I remember, pre-calc (don't recommend). I ended up scoring 5's on my BC and AB subsection, and I don't think I could have done it with anyone else. Misha was a lifesaver when it came to finding practice material and explained anything I didn't understand with great clarity. He's a charming, knowledgeable guy, and I think that he can get anyone to achieve their goals, provided they are willing to put in the work (and are on a better time frame, lol). 10/10.

Misha is an incredibly patient and thorough tutor. Not only will he take the time to make sure you understand the topic, he makes sure you walk away with a full, conceptual understanding.

Misha has an incredible talent for breaking down complex concepts and explaining them step-by-step with patience and clarity. Most tutors get you through classes; Misha inspires a passion for mathematics.

Misha helped my child get ready for AP Calculus BC exam in a very short time frame – a few weeks, so short that I had no hope. He carefully diagnosed the weaknesses in the child’s knowledge and devised an intense study program that was very effective - my child got a 5 on the test.
