About

Hello! I'm Vlad. I'm a tutor with a passion for helping others achieve their academic potential. After graduating from Brown University, I brought my ACT tutoring services back to the midwest, helping create specialized strategies for time management, problem solving, and critical thinking.

The results speak for themselves: a 4-point average increase for 200+ students. I'm also young, energetic, personable, and know what it takes to be effective for students of all levels. As a perk, I also provide complementary college essay editing and common application advice free of charge for all of my students.

Vlad was an excellent tutor! He was incredibly helpful and was concerned about both my ability to do well on my ACT as well as my wellbeing as a student. He gave me amazing advice for test taking and was flexible with scheduling tutoring sessions. With his tutoring I was able to get a score that both my parents and I are proud of so I don’t plan on taking it again but if i was going to take the test again I would continue to tutor with Vlad!!!

Vlad is fantastic! He is highly knowledgeable about the subject matter (ACT prep) and conveyed that expertise in a clear and encouraging manner. He also asked why I chose answers that I did in order to learn my thought processes. He not only helped me reach my ACT score goal (34) but I became a National Merit Scholarship semi-finalist due to my PSAT score. I definitely recommend Vlad for any of your tutoring needs.

The tutoring was really focused and catered to my specific needs. I was able to quickly see a huge boost in my score after a short time. Made the whole standardized test process much less stressful knowing I had the help and support I needed.

Frequently asked questions

I always start with a free consultation via the phone so that all parties can learn more about each other and set goals and expectations.

Afterwards, if there is a mutual desire to move forward, we set a weekly schedule (usually 1-2 hour sessions twice a week), and work together to turn your goals into a reality.

I teach an ACT course each fall at a local private school. Between this course and my online one-on-one tutoring business, I now average around 75 students a year.

I charge a standard rate of $60 per hour. 

I initially began ACT tutoring my friends in high school with the goal of getting them into their dream college or obtaining the best possible scholarship opportunities. After graduating from college myself during the pandemic, I faced a challenging job market, so I looked for ways to generate extra income while keeping a safe social distance. This led me to launch my online tutoring business, which has since grown into a thriving side hustle.
