Svetlana
Chemistry, Math, Physics and Learning Pods Tutor
I graduated from UC Davis with a degree in chemistry and I have over 10 years of tutoring experience, substituting teaching and working in a group setting at a learning center. I tutor adults and children of all ages. I developed a passion for science early on and want to help others get excited about learning and pursuing careers in STEM. I don’t believe in simply memorizing steps to the problem, therefore I begin with basic concepts to tackle the topic and build on that, as well as apply co...

Steven M. from La Puente, CA
Very patient and friendly. She made sure I understood every little nuance of the problem sets before moving on to the next which was very helpful, and in the end, very rewarding.
Luz V. from Covina, CA
Ms. Svetlana has recently began tutoring my teenager in physics. She is confident, knowledgeable, efficient, kind, patient, and organized, I can't say enough about how wonderful she is; I was very impressed. She teaches in a way that my child can relate, she gives examples, homework and always before moving forward she confirms my daughter is understanding what is being taught. We have seen improvement in our daughter's class work and grade in the short time we began tutoring with Svetlana, on days my daughter has a quiz/test Svetlana has even sent my daughter a text to ask how it went! We are very grateful we found her.
Yanan L. from Davis, CA
She is very patient! And she helped a lot on my general chemistry. She has a good way to teach and makes me understand many difficult problems. She is very good!
Sue J. from Sacramento, CA
Svetlana knows her material and is an excellent tutor. She doesn't rush through the physics problems. After our son sees her, he has a much better grasp of the material.
Tanya K. from Sacramento, CA
She is very cooperative, patient and does a great job at explaining well. If something is not understood she goes back to the material to review it and make sure that I understand it.
Haruna M. from Sacramento, CA
She is nice and friendly and takes her time to explain every concept in chemistry to my daughter. Being the first year for my daughter in high school chemistry and she was not doing well in the chemistry class, Svetlana is able to put her through the basics. With her teaching approach, my daughter feels more comfortable in the chemistry class and she is able to help my daughter "catch-up" in her class.
Wendy W. from Antelope, CA
Svetlana is a great tutor! Very patient, and always makes sure you've learned the topic. My score on organic chem double after I started my first tutoring lesson. I like that she answers questions about a topic even out of tutoring hrs. I highly recommend her! She is very smart!
Jihoon K. from Rancho Cordova, CA
She knows what she's teaching. I tried other tutor before, who had chemistry degree, but she couldn't be detailed with her answer. I was worried that all other chemistry tutors would be like the first tutor, but Svetlana seems to love her major and knows what she's dealing with. If you have questions in chemistry, she's a person who will make sure you get the answer.
Juan B. from Walnut, CA
I had the pleasure and privilege of being tutored by Svetlana. She is very knowledgeable, thorough with the material. It was a really good experience. She makes Physics so much simple. I would definitely recommend Svetlana for anybody who is struggling, or wants to improve a grade in Physics. Guaranteed.
Roy L. from West Sacramento, CA
She does not have any peers. Svetlana is indispensable to Tyler's education. No other tutor can even come remotely close to her attention and positive effect on him. She stays up with his teachers, his progress, and ostensibly his advancement. She is more of an inspiration and more of a teacher than any instruction he receives at school. He learns from HER...
Monica P. from West Covina, CA
Svetlana helped me with trigonometry and chemistry. She made sure I understood the material and even took the time to send me worksheets to help me practice. Svetlana prepared a lesson for each tutoring session which I appreciated and it showed me that she actually wants to help me succeed.
