About Valery

Hello! My name is Valery, and I am a fourth year nuclear engineering student hoping to do a masters in nuclear physics or astrophysics. Apart from having studied various branches of mathematics as part of my academic career, I have also studied in-depth physics concepts (including math that is needed to understand particle physics, and that which is used to describe general relativity).

I believe that true knowledge is demonstrated by being able to explain the concept in simple terms, without using long words, jargon, or unnecessarily complicating the material.

I have years of experience tutoring students in math, and my goal is for them to achieve true understanding of how to solve problems and of why they solve them that way.

From my experience, math is best described as the language of science, and even the students who feel the most hopeless about the material can learn it exceptionally well if they approach it that way. Likewise, even the top performing students often have gaps in their knowledge that they have filled with memorization rather than understanding.

No matter what the level of the student is, I can help identify those knowledge gaps, and fill them with a strong foundation of understanding.

I will have succeeded as a tutor when the student no longer feels the need for our sessions, and will be able to move forward with their studies by reasoning their way through the material based on the footing gained by our work together.

About the lesson

I offer two types of sessions: student guided and tutor guided with pre-prepared material.

Student Guided Sessions: $30/hour. These sessions are about helping the student with material that they are struggling with in class or on their own. The student brings material that they'd like to cover during the session, and if needed, I will provide material to expand on the concepts.

Tutor Guided Sessions: $50/hour. For these sessions I will prepare the material based on the student's requests (e.g. "math prep for introductory calculus"). This includes the basic material that is expected to be covered by the topic, expanded material that will make it easier to understand the topic, and personalized homework sets targeting the student's weaknesses or areas of interest.

I have studied all levels of math, from the basics to university level calculus to statistics to nuclear and particle physics. This means that I can explain the material forwards, backwards, and in multiple different ways to find how you learn best.

I have tutored students of all levels, from those who are missing a few key ideas to those who have no ideas whatsoever about the discipline. I believe the best way to describe math is as the language of science, and by approaching it this way my students have had great success with understanding the material.

The typical student has 2 lessons per week, with access to all our lesson notes through google drive and the option to have one homework/review set per week free of additional charge.

As a student, you can expect to get detailed explanations of your material, with the option to go beyond the classroom and study ahead, or to dig in and understand the concept more completely.

As a parent, you can expect updates on your child's progress after every session, with a detailed assessment of their strengths, and our areas of focus for the upcoming lessons.

Valery is an amazing chemistry tutor! I have been working with her for a while now and I have noticed a marked improvement in my grades and understanding. She always takes time to make sure I understand the concepts that are being presented, and she is very accommodating. I always look forward to learning from her, and I would recommend her to anyone struggling with chemistry.

When Valery teaches, she becomes more than just a mentor — she becomes a trusted friend that helps you tackle complex topics in an immersive, constructive manner. Thanks to her, I got an A in Physics 1 this semester, despite having somewhat of shaky foundations in some of its more intricate topics. If simplifying those challenging subjects through hands-on demonstrations and simplified explanations is what you're looking for, Valery is perfect for the job.

Valery is great for learning and tutoring new subjects. She breaks down complicated ideas into simpler terms to better teach each new concept. Valery always goes above and beyond for her students, and can ask key questions when reviewing before tests.
