About Mariia

I specialize in tutoring K-12 students in math, English grammar and writing, ESL, and Russian. I prioritize patience, building confidence, and creating a learning environment where students feel supported and motivated. I tailor each session to the student's unique needs and learning style. As someone who learned English as a second language, I'm especially thoughtful about how I explain grammar and structure, making it easier for students to truly understand, not just memorize. I'm a double major in journalism and psychology and currently serve as a staff editor at Drake Political Review. I scored 780 out of 800 on the SAT math section. My background in psychology helps me apply evidence-based learning techniques, maintain ethical standards, and better understand how students learn and stay motivated. I'm here to help your child grow academically and feel more confident in their abilities.
