About Alexandr


Bio

I have been teaching math at a private school after retiring from a successful career in research and development. My priority is to help you understand math, so that arcane and confusing equations will suddenly start making sense. Too often school curriculum jumps from one topic to another, leaving yawning gaps. I help you fill these gaps and give you confidence and skills to study independently after tutoring.

I have been teaching math at a private school after retiring from a successful career in research and development. My priority is to help you understand math, so that arcane and confusing equations will suddenly start making sense. Too often school curriculum jumps from one topic to another, leaving yawning gaps. I help you fill these gaps and give you confidence and skills to study independently after tutoring.

I have a PhD in Electrical Engineering from Stanford. In 2022 my college-level math textbook was published by MIT Press.

I will teach Algebra, Precalculus, Trigonometry, and Calculus. I provide a 100% guarantee: if you are not satisfied with a lesson, I do not charge for it. I also can teach one of the following three-month custom-designed courses: "Essential math tools for engineering and computer science" (based on my book) or "How pure math works" (both courses require at least precalculus and trigonometry).

Oh, and one more thing: 100% of my net fee will be donated to humanitarian and medical relief in Ukraine. This is a win-win situation: you get help in math, and people in Ukraine get medical supplies, orphanages get clothes, and more! (I will be happy to forward you receipts.)

Great teacher

I highly recommend him. Very knowledgeable, patient and great communicator. He tired to assist my son to fill the gaps.

A great teacher who knows how to explain so the student will understand

My son is doing AP Calculus and was falling behind in school. He didn't understand the concepts and became frustrated. We were worried he might not pass the class, let alone sit for the AP exam. Luckily, we found Mr. Draganov. He is very patient, and knows how to explain the material, which is a rare gift. My son tried another tutor previously, who could solve all of the problems, but wasn't great at explaining the logic behind the methods. With Mr. Draganov, my son finally started to understand the concepts and the methods. Not only have his grades improved but he's also going to sit for the AP exam. We could not have asked for more!

Knowledgeable and patient

Alexandr taught my daughter Precalc. He was patient and went over things in detail even providing extra help sheets to go through on your own time. We would recommend Alexandr to anyone looking for a tutor for their child for math.
