My son started to take math lessons with Eugene 4 years ago, when he was in middle school. He is currently at Gunn. I like that Eugene provides a detailed presentation of each problem. He teaches his students how to think, how to approach the problem and how to work with the textbook. He insists on complete understanding of the material, not memorization of the formulas. He has no tolerance for sloppy handwriting. Eugene has large library of math and physics textbooks, both in English and Russian. Many of his Russian texts are translated in English. He uses different texts for the same class to emphasize different aspects of the course. Eugene is gently pushing each of his students to perform at their full potential. He is the best teacher you can find in the Silicon Valley for math and physics.

Eugene was able to help me with a very tough business class that I had to take as a requirement for my MBA at San Jose State. He is patient and explains the concepts in a manner that is easy to understand. I needed to score a 80% to pass the class, thanks to Eugene I was able to score a 86.6% and earn an A in the class overall.
I highly recommend him as a tutor.

For the past year Eugene has been tutoring my 8th-​grade son, who needs some extra challenge in math. Together they are working their way through precalculus. Eugene is very detailed and makes sure that my son understands how every theorem is derived before he applies it. My son considers him a great teacher.

Eugene is an exceptional instructor. Of particular importance is his knowledge of the Palo Alto school system mathematics curriculum. With this knowledge he can tutor the mathematics needed to get good grades in the Palo Alto classroom. He is teaching my son how to think through math problems and not just computational skills. My son became more confident about his ability to do well in the classroom and is getting better grades.

The classes that Eugene runs are excellent. He has helped my daughter for some years now.
We came to him worried that my was daughter falling behind math and not liking it. He has helped her to the point that now she feels very confident in her knowledge of math an she said is one of the subjects she likes the most. To hear that is wonderful. Getting good in Math has helped her not only in school but also in her overall confidence.
He will gone the extra mile no problem, Eugene tutor her even when we were abroad for a couple of years. He figure it out how to have the class long distance and even got the books she had in order to teach specifically exactly what she was being taught.
Eugene is a great person and a great teacher he is patience and knows his subject very well.
He is up to date on what it is being taugth in high schools and universities and understand how the subject is being presented in these places. I really recommend him to all.

Eugene was an excellent find for helping our high school-​er in her honors math. He is extremely knowledgeable in his subject and explains students in a way that sticks. He insists kids on creating good working habits and focuses on step by step solution. He likes to understand the students capabilities and identifies the strengths and weaknesses. This way he knows how best to plan the session. I would highly recommend Eugene for math!

Eugene is the best math teacher you can ever find. Eugene knows the Palo Alto school system very well (both middle and high schools). Eugene is not only teaching math, he teaches physic subject too. He is patient, knowledgable, yet challenging for his students. He teaches his students beyond Math. He shows his students the right attitude towards a successful future life. Both my boys (8th and 10th graders) like Eugene a lot. He helps them stay on top of their school works. We highly recommended him! Thank you, Eugene!

Eugene is a very high-​quality math instructor. He is very thorough, and knows his material (and how to teach it) very well. He gives very in-​depth explanations of problems, and describes methods to solve similar ones.
We use WebEx for our long-​distance lessons, with emailed homework. Even hundreds of miles away, his teaching is still highly effective. The results were extremely good, and scores on math and math competition tests shot up. We would highly recommend Eugene for anyone seeking help with mathematics or physics (both school-​related and competition).

I like to endorse Eugene 200% ! He is very knowledgeable, patient, understands the needs of his students both in regard to his/​her math skills as well as personality. I have tried other places before with very little success (if that) and Eugene is everything I was looking for. My son needed to review algebra I for his high school placement test and he is generally quite strong student. We were able in just 2 weeks with daily sessions not only to review all the material that my son had covered during 7th grade, but also he challenged him with harder problems and problems his middle school had NOT covered. My son was able to then retake the math placement test and he was placed at a higher class than he originally tested for (this high school is a private high school ranked 6th in the nation). I will be driving from Berkeley to Menlo Park if I need math tutoring in the future. Eugene is amazing! I highly recommend you work with him. Thank you Eugene!

Eugene is an excellent math tutor, and has helped me a great deal. I am a senior in high school, and have been in the highest math lane offerred in my schools since second grade. This year I began to have a lot of trouble with math, and my teacher would often tell us that we should memorize formulas, theorems, and postulates instead of finding out why they worked. Eugene was able to teach my applications of these formulas and I now am much more confident in my math grade, as well as my ability to learn new math. Eugene doesn’t just help you, he teaches you to help yourself. I will not have him in college next year, but I will have the skills he has given me.

You can tell that Eugene truly loves math. He shares his knowledge and expertise in a way that is understandable to my son. In the few months that we have been seeing him my son has raised his math grade a full letter higher. We are really happy to have found Eugene. My son feels more confident with his math skills (our primary purpose) and has been consistently getting excellent grades on his weekly tests. Eugene has been working with our son to help prepare him for the advanced class next year.

Not only does Eugene deeply understand every level of high school and college math, he is able to explain it in ways that make the material accessible and interesting for high school students. The notes that he gives to his students are, as my son tells me, extremely valuable. Among the math tutors we have engaged with, Eugene truly stands out!

Eugene is an amazing math tutor. His teaching methods are very understandable, and he has helped my daughter raise her grade. She used to be very stressed before taking a math test, but after taking his tutoring sessions, her stress level has decreased and she is more confident

Eugene is an excellent math tutor. His mastery of the concepts in AP BC Calculus is demonstrated in his ability to clearly articulate his explanations in a way that helps me understand the material. In addition, his proficiency at drawing diagrams to better explain the material and helpful habit of writing down every step he goes through to solve a problem makes him the perfect tutor for anyone struggling in math. I would highyl recommend Eugene to anyone in need a help in math.
