Andrei

Yale Math PhD: SAT prep, gifted-child math and physics

Who I am: NOT your run-of-the-mill tutor. Before a career on Wall Street, I was a professional, world-class mathematician. I have an MS and a PhD in mathematics from Yale University, and summa cum laude BS and MS in mathematics from the former USSR. A graduate of one of the Soviet Union's elite math-and-physics high schools, I was also a multiple Mathematics Olympiad winner. What I can do for you: (1) SAT/ACT and ISEE/SSAT test prep. Important as they may be, test-taking techniques on...

Andrei tutored my two daughters ages 10 and 12 for two years. I feel truly blessed to have found him through Wyzant. Not only is he an extremely well-educated mathematician, but he also clearly loves to teach children. It was not clear during the tutoring sessions who was having more fun, Andrei, or my daughters. His vast knowledge was put to good use in explaining, elaborating, and extrapolating in a way I could never hope to emulate. He was able to teach the girls new concepts, but his real value was in teaching them to think about the broader ramifications of new discoveries, so that instead of just collecting an assortment of facts and rules, they were able to gain a deeper understanding overall. If we hadn't moved across the country, we would still be using him, and I would recommend him in a heartbeat to anyone, especially someone with talented math kids.

Andrei brings a unique perspective to the process of learning mathematics. He is adept at encouraging the ability to conceive and calculate solutions to problems mentally, ultimately aiming to eliminate the need for figuring things out on paper or with the use of a calculator. The student must invest in himself/herself by agreeing to practice between sessions; by looking back at the processes of mathematical applications Andrei has introduced during the face-to-face inspection, discussion of the SAT math modules.


Soren (student) R. from Stamford, CT

Andrei is quite exceptional. His passion for teaching math is more than just getting the right answers. It's changing the way his students think of math in the traditional sense and allowing them to embrace concepts in the simplest of ways so that the language of math becomes fluent within them. The numbers flow and fall into place and the correct answer is all that is left on the paper.

Great tutor!! Andrei was preparing our child for Math part of SAT and ACT. He is very knowledgeable and explains difficult concepts clearly, very patient. We were very impressed with the results. Our child score was in a top 2% on SAT and top 3% on ACT. I do not think you can find a better tutor. I would definitely recommend Andrei!!


Daniela W. from Ridgefield, CT

Very happy with Andrei as my daughter's math tutor, he is very patient, explains very clearly difficult concepts, very encouraging and very helpful.


Paul B. from Stamford, CT

I have just finished a tutoring from Andrei and I must say I am completely impressed both with his teaching style and his depth of knowledge. I think that you would not be able to find a better tutor.


Krupa S. from Briarcliff Manor, NY

Andrei tutored my daughter for SAT Math, and for the SAT Math 2 subject test. His online classes were amazing and she grasped the subject matter quickly. Andrei also gave her great tips on working faster and more efficiently. This helped tremendously on the exams. Andrei tutored her for three months for the SAT Math, she took the exam once and scored a 780 on the math. He then tutored her for a month for the SAT 2 math, she scored an 800 on that exam. We are very grateful to Andrei, for helping her achieve this. I would recommend Andrei very highly, his patience and dedication is outstanding! Thanks Andrei!

Andrei is exceptional and has a unique approach to teaching fundamental understanding of math concepts. Once a student clearly and soundly understands MATH fundamentals, the student can grow. We are honored to have a chance to work with someone who has these exceptional skills. For our planets future engineers and scientist, Andrei's tutoring will be priceless.


Eva G. from Greenwich, CT

Andrei is a most thoughtful, responsive and skilled tutor. As a mathematician, he is, in my eyes, unparalleled. Andrei truly cares about giving my son the reasons for WHY certain theories and concepts exist, and he therefore puts them in context, never to be forgotten. It is a true honor to work with a brilliant teacher like Andrei! I whole-heartedly recommend Andrei to anyone who yearns to discover a passion for mathematics, especially, and sadly, since this process rarely happens at school!


Anne W. from North Salem, NY

Andrei is clearly a brilliant mathematician. He is very much interested in taking his students to a new frontier with their math. Unfortunately for us his intense teaching style was not a good fit for our daughter...but if you have a student who responds well to this manner of teaching I believe they will benefit tremendously.
