About Ekaterina


Bio

I specialize in successfully prepping students for Math Olympiads such as MATHCOUNTS, MOEMS, Kangaroo Math, Math League, AMC 8, AMC 10, AMC 12, and AIME. And I am currently an instructor at the Art of Problem Solving online school (the leading school in olympiad prep.)

I love out-of-the-box thinking and olympiads, which helped me receive a GOLD medal from the International Mathematics Project Competition in 2005.

I love out-of-the-box thinking and olympiads, which helped me receive a GOLD medal from the International Mathematics Project Competition in 2005.

I have been finding pleasure in solving math problems from an early age. I want to help my students experience the joys of the "Aha" moments when they finally independently tackle a complicated math problem.

In terms of teaching, I have been tutoring for over ten years at Ekatutor, and I have an excellent success rate in improving my students' understanding of the subject. In addition, I have homeschooled my daughter for the past four years and believe that every child needs an individualized approach. That's why I continually develop a personalized plan for each of my students.

I am very observant during my tutoring sessions. For example, suppose I notice that my student struggles to understand a specific topic. In that case, I pride myself on finding creative ways to reintroduce the material over and over until the desired level of understanding is reached.

Bachelors in Math/Economics from American University in Bulgaria.

Terrific Math Olympiad Tutor

My daughter has made substantial progress with her Math Kangaroo prep since working with Ekaterina. On her last MK test (2022), she got 21 out of 24 problems right; being in the third grade, we hope for the perfect score next year. I would highly recommend working with Ekaterina; she is a terrific olympiad tutor.

Ekaterina is AWESOME!

My son, age 13, has had several lessons with Ekaterina and he absolutely loves her. Ekaterina is a fantastic tutor. She is incredibly knowledgeable about the subject matter (in our case help with AOPS math classes and AMC questions), she is well-versed in how to present the material from different perspectives, keeps my son engaged with pertinent questions, is encouraging and patient (allowing time for thought - yet also understands when to move things forward with further inquiry, hints and explanations when needed). I cannot recommend Ekaterina enough. If you are seeking a serious, knowledgeable, engaging and compassionate tutor, look no further than Ekaterina.

Experienced and strategic

Ekaterina is thoughtfully guiding my son through his first AMC8 preparation. She assesses where knowledge is needed and where problem solving strategy is needed. My son is very much appreciating her tutoring as he is enjoying his growth.

Knowledgeable and patient tutor

Ekaterina is great. She is very responsive, and my daughter loves her way of teaching. Eka gives my daughter the right amount of homework and she is very good at explaining the questions.

professional and knowledgeable

My son just had his first AMC session with Ms. Ekaterina. She is very knowledgeable and able to explain math problems clearly. She is patient and approachable. We love her and will recommend her to anyone who is interested in AMC.

Excellent tutor

We started working with Ekaterina in early May. Since then, I've seen big improvements in my daughter's interests in math and her approach to problem-solve. Ekaterina continues to pique my daughter's curiosity and grow her ability to ask questions and analyze problems with positivity and clarity. To me, this is more important than test scores. I'd highly recommend her as a math tutor. From the 9-year-old - "Ekaterina is a great math tutor. She explains strategies and problems very clearly. She also motivates me. She encourages me to go beyond what I am comfortable with every time and improve."

An olympiad pro and a patient tutor

Ekaterina is an excellent tutor. I am impressed at how patient she is, and one can see that homeschooling her child has influenced her style and made her more patient and caring than your average tutor. In addition, she has hands-on experience with Olympiads, as she has participated in many. I would recommend her to anyone wanting to improve their kids' AMC 8 results.
