Hello! I have been a professional tutor since 2003, specializing in math (pre-algebra through AP calculus), AP statistics, and standardized test preparation. I am very effective in helping students to not just get a better grade, but to really understand the subject matter and the reasons why things work the way they do. I do this in a way that is positive, supportive, and also fun. I explain difficult math and science concepts in simple English, and continue working with students until they ...

My son has only been working with Vladimir (Algebra 1) for about 5 weeks now and already his math skills have improved dramatically! While my son understood the concepts of algebra, he was rushing and not taking the time to problem solve correctly. Vladimir is teaching him how to be patient, slow down and concentrate. Vladimir is such a good fit. His test scores have gone up 2 letter grades and his attention in his class has gone from distracted to engaged because of the skills he is learning and the success he is having in the class.

Vladimir has helped my son not only survive AP Statistics (a class he did not originally like) but thrive. My son reached out to Vladimir for in-depth questions, homework, and test review, and earned an A in the class. Vladimir has the the teacher?s expertise to know how to explain the subject and how best to prep for tests. My son found working with Vladimir so worth while that he has chosen him as a tutor again on Calculus and has not been disappointed. Highly recommend.

Vladimir has tutored both our kids over the last 6 years. First our daughter, then our son. It would be selling Vladimir short to say he is a fantastic tutor. He has literally helped changed The lives of our kids, enabling them to approach education and life with more confidence and sharpened skills. He is literally a gentle giant. Knowledgeable, compassionate and patient. He approaches each child in a very customized way, making sure to spend the time to ensure the student not only learns the material, but is excited and motivated to learn. That is the key to confidence and understanding. He has become a Sunday fixture in our household and while we are excited to see our last child move on to college, it will be sad to not have Vladimir sitting with one of our kids on a Sunday afternoon. I can?t say enough kind words for Vladimir. I can?t imagine working with anyone else for our or your child. One of the best decisions we ever made was beginning our journey with Vladimir as our kids tutor. The kids started with a tutor in Vladimir and they ended with a friend and educational muse and ?coach?. We won?t ever forget how he has contributed to our children?s success and confidence. Nor will they.

Vladimir was very patient even when explaining very rudimentary concepts, making sure to explain every step involved in the process. I could see the results after only a few sessions.

Vladimir taught completely strange and complicated math that my son's school assigns him. He needed help understanding what I never learned having gone to Berkeley. Vladimir was able to help and will continue. Thank you.

Vladimir is very knowledgeable and has great personality.
- EVAN H. from San Francisco, CA
After only one class, we already know it?s a perfect match because of his knowledge and way of teaching. Perfect approach to teenagers.

Vladimir was very patient with my son and was able to give constructive criticism that improved his work product. Very knowledgeable and clearly communicates his teachings.

My son (8th grade) has been working with Vladimir for a couple of weeks now on algebra 1. Immediately, Vladimir was able to assess that he lacked some fundamental skills which are required in order to be successful in algebra. To me, that is truly the sign of a great tutor. His focus was not only on the subject I asked him to work on, but he looked at the student as a whole and assessed needs and gaps. Vladimir's tutoring/teaching style is encouraging and supportive. He passes no judgment, which, I imagine, is very much welcomed by a student who is struggling. He checks for understanding and provides tips and tools for test-taking and memory recall. We will be scheduling weekly tutoring sessions with Vladimir. I highly recommend him as a tutor.

I hired Vladimir for my Statistics and Probability class at ccsf since I needed extra help and focus. He explained all concepts well and is a professional. Would recommend.
- Eunice R. from San Francisco, CA
My daughter just had her first math lesson wit Vladimir and she really enjoyed it. We hope to use Vladimir more often in the future. She said that Vladimir explained the how to solve difficult math problems well. When asked if Vladimir helped her understand the math concept better, she said YES.

I was in an impossible situation in my statistic's class until I came across Vladimir's profile. I currently attend a community college and have planned to transfer to a university in the fall. In order to do this, I had to pass my statistics class. After it being three days after taking my finals and turning in all my assignments, I get an email from my professor saying that I have a 69.96% in my statistics class. He advised me to complete 4 problems within 3 days in order to pass the class with a 70%. I quickly went to the tutoring center at my school, I called multiple tutoring centers in the area and even asked another statistic's professor from my campus but NO ONE could understand the problems. I finally come across this website and thankfully found Vladimir. I messaged him about my situation and he responded quickly. We met the next day and got to work. He noticed that I was stressed and told me to relax and assured me that everything was going to be okay. We worked together as a team and he was the only person that could tackle these problems and get them done on time. I am so unbelievably thankful for his help and would recommend him to anyone who feels like they are in an impossible situation with math. Because of Vladimir I can successfully transfer to the university I was accepted to!

Vladimir is an extremely patient and organized tutor! I had SAT Maths lessons with him, and due to the fact that I am taking it as a non-high school student, my SAT math skills have been mostly forgotten. Vladimir is an expert on the material that he is teaching and he was able to explain the concepts very clearly to me, every single lesson. He is also a very organized tutor, and always takes notes of the student's performance after and during every session, I think he tracks the students improvement that way! We went through the SAT Math test papers, at least one each 1 hour sessions, and he was able to patiently explain every single questions that I got wrong. My scores improved after every single lesson, I went from the mid 600s to mid 700s, and kept up with it. Overall I am extremely satisfied with my improvement that I achieved while working with Vladimir and I am very confident that my scores in the real SAT test that I am taking very soon would reflect the improvements.

Vladimir is a straightforward teacher. He makes complicated topics clear and patiently makes sure my son understands and can replicate the material they are discussing well before moving on to new topics.

As an adult making a career change, I needed Statistics as part of my degree requirement. Having not taken math in many years, I was filled with anxiety and insecurity about Statistics. I took an online Statistics class, which increased my fear even more. Vladimir worked with me not only on equations and formulas, he helped me overcome the fear that blocked my understanding of the questions. Vladimir knowledge of statistics and his love of math really shows through in his tutoring. Over the course of 16 tutoring sessions with Vladimir, I became a more disciplined student. Calm replaced anxiety and confidence replaced insecurity. All of our work together resulted in my success in passing the course. I am grateful for finding Vladimir on Wyzant. I would recommend him to anyone, especially adult learners. He understands the unique challenges and meets them with knowledge and incredible kindness.

Vladimir taught me statistics. He was patience and knowledgeable. We met at UCSF library. You can tell he is an actual teacher. He draw out problems and diagrams very helpful.
- LaVonda S. from Oakland, CA
My daughter was very comfortable with Vladimir even in her first lesson. She felt he was very nice and easy to understand. She liked that he went into details of the math problems and unearthed and answered questions about areas that she wasn't sure how to do . He seems very knowledgeable , good at communicating , and fun.
- Ann R. from San Francisco, CA
Vishal found his first session with Vladimir very helpful. Vishal acknowledged that he needed to slow down and write his steps more legibly. Vishal is looking forward to his next sessions with Vladimir.
- Nisha K. from San Francisco, CA
We hired Vladimir to work with our 13 year old son to prepare for the SSAT. He was able to pinpoint the areas where our son needed help and identified ways to help him improve. Valdimir was very thorough and conscientious in his instruction, had great materials designed specifically for the SSAT and worked well with our son!
- Megan O. from San Francisco, CA
Vladimir is not only an incredible tutor with years of experience, he also works with the students to recognize the root causes of their struggles with a lesson and helps them build a strong foundation from bottom up. Thank you Vladimir!
