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.

Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
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.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
