About Stanislav


Bio

Hi, I'm Stanislav (or Stas for short)! I realized early on in my school career that a good teacher is just as important or even more important than the subject they teach. My most memorable classes were ones with engaging, understanding, and flexible teachers who took time to get to know their students and found joy in watching them grow. That's why I tutor - I want to see that "a-ha" moment when it all comes together for you.

Hi, I'm Stanislav (or Stas for short)! I realized early on in my school career that a good teacher is just as important or even more important than the subject they teach. My most memorable classes were ones with engaging, understanding, and flexible teachers who took time to get to know their students and found joy in watching them grow. That's why I tutor - I want to see that "a-ha" moment when it all comes together for you.

Back in high school, I would often tutor other students in many branches of math, from Algebra through Calculus, as well as some intermediate French. Even during my time at the University of Alabama I helped fellow students in Aerospace Engineering and Computer Science classes. I'm currently at the University of Utah studying for a degree in Data Science. I've done tutoring on other platforms as well, working with dozens of students for hundreds of hours to prepare them for tests like the SAT/ACT. Almost all of these were one-on-one meetings where I tailored the sessions to the specific needs of the student. I earned a 800 Math/750 Reading on the SAT and a perfect 36 on the ACT, so I know the ins and outs of the test.

My favorite kinds of students are those that are genuinely invested in their own education, so when I tutor I try to make the experience as engaging as possible so that it's easy to jump right in. In our tutoring sessions, I usually want to get an idea of your current experience first. Then, we'll focus on the topics that you need the most help on by working up from what you already know. I like to work through your thought process and understand how you see the topic, so that I can best help you learn. I can always give you time afterwards to make sure you master the subject on your own, whether during sessions or independently.

I only want the best for my students, so if you have any questions or resources, don't hesitate to reach out! I'll get back to you as soon as I can to help you in whatever you need.

Steady, reliable and gets great results

My son has been working with Stanislav for several months preparing for both ACT and SAT. His weakness is the math sections and confidence therein. Upon taking both tests for the first time, the results were great. From PSAT score to SAT first time score he experienced an increase of over 200 points. My son tells me Stanislav is very good at explaining math concepts and easy to learn from. He has also helped with the verbal portions of the tests and has overall steadily built my son's confidence through steady consistent practice. He is also very responsive and professional as a tutor. Highly recommend.

Algebra II

I highly recommend Stanislav as a tutor. He is patient and knowledgeable. His teaching style is excellent; he breaks down complex concepts into manageable pieces. Stanislav prepared my daughter to take a final exam for Algebra II. Within a few days before the exam, he went over the material with her, explaining and working on math problems with her. After these crash lessons, she was confident and well prepared for the Algebra II final exam.

Oksana, 3 lessons with Stanislav

Great experience

Stanislav has worked with our kids for the last 3 years of SAT prep and he has imparted a world of knowledge to both of them. Not only have their test scores improved but the process to solve problems for both of them is cleaner and more concise. Thank you Stanislav for helping our family.

My son likes him!

My son is quite pickier when he is choosing tutors, but he liked Stanislav after the first lesson. That is much relief to me when he likes his tutor. My son said he was smart, patient and clear to understand at the lessons! He needs more time to work on PSAT and hope he gets to a lot of practice by the time he takes the test, so he can get a good result!

knowledgeable, patient and motivated

Stas was a pleasure to work with. He literally wrote and created financial corresponding formulas at my place of work. He is extremely knowledgeable, we worked with google sheets, and extremely patient understanding that explaining the reasons behind his actions, step by step is crucial for the learning experience and environment. I will be working with Stas on further projects as well.

BERGE, 5 lessons with Stanislav

Knowledgeable, patiently work with the student.

Stas knows the contents and works patiently with the student. Great match with my child, very happy so far. We have recurring sessions on SAT prep already but needed extra help on Pre-Cal to get off to a good start. Stas made himself available on short notice and helped out.
