About
Hey everyone, my name is Ruslan! I graduated from Stony Brook University in 2022 with a Bachelor's of Science in Biology, and completed my Master's program in the United Kingdom in September 2024. For... all of my academic career, tutoring others has greatly helped me and my students retain knowledge of content from the courses we have taken.
I have lived in New York City since I was 5 years old, and I love to travel, listen to music, and walk around in the city, just to explore new places! I enjoy cooking, playing chess, and also playing music, especially the bass guitar. Any hobbies that involve learning are always my favorites. As my parents are not originally from the United States, I have been spending my entire life being their personal, always available, English tutor. :)
One of my deepest passions is teaching; giving knowledge to others is an essential part of our lives, and I believe that the best way to do it is to understand how people see the world. I feel that anyone can become confident in any topic as long as they know how to integrate it into the way they think. No matter how much you think you're "not good" at STEM, or English, or any subject, there is always a way for you to comprehend it. It is through my tutoring that I strive to unlock that capability in a student, so they may have a smooth flow during my lessons and any future learning that they wish to do, until eventually my lessons would no longer be needed. I am happy to tutor at any level, and I am always willing to accommodate your needs so you can learn in the best way!read more
