Experience
I am a PhD student of mathematics and it is my passion to make the subjects in which I specialize vivid and understandable. I have been a mathematics instructor at Hunter College for the past 5 years. So far, the list of courses that I taught is as follows: (1) Precalculus, (2) Calculus I, (3) Calculus II, (4) Calculus III, (5) Calculus based probability theory, (6) Real Analysis I, (7) Real Analysis II. In the process of teaching, I developed copious lecture notes, exams, animations, and other material to help my students master difficult concepts. Over 40 student reviews of my lectures are easily found online and many more may be provided upon request. I am particularly skilled at explaining following topics: 1) Basic Algebra/ Trigonometry/ Precalculus 2) Single Variable Calculus 3) Multivariate Calculus 4) Linear and Abstract Algebras 5) Real and Complex Analysis 6) Analysis on Manifolds If you need help with more elementary topics or with a subject that I haven't listed here, please feel free to contact. I will be glad to help with any undergraduate and even graduate mathematics courses.

Hobbies
I enjoy teaching, especially when the student is truly interested in grasping the subject rather than merely passing a test. I have helped many struggling students discover that they have much greater talent for mathematics than what they dared to think. A few of these students even graduated with a master's degree in math. I also love learning languages and reading poetry. I speak Russian, Hebrew, and German. In college I double majored in Mathematics and German Literature. The classes were conducted in German, where we were reading, analyzing, and discussing works of prominent German writers like Thomas Mann, Kafka, Goethe and other poets of the Sturm und Drang movement.
