Personal Statement

Boris holds an MS degree in Mathematics from Polytechnic Institute of NYU. There he taught a number of Calculus courses while working on completing his degree. He was also teaching Algebra and Trigonometry courses at New York City College of Technology. After completing his studies at NYU, Boris spent over 15 years working as a quantitative professional for a number of international banks such as Morgan Stanley, Royal Bank of Canada, Credit Suisse while still being able to find time for his true passion of teaching. Boris’s approach to tutoring is to ensure that the student does not simply perform a large number of robotic tasks, but to learn if there are gaps in understanding of fundamental concepts through a number of diagnostics tests. Once the gaps are identified and addressed the student’s performance increases phenomenally. Another goal is to teach the students to learn to learn. Boris often works with small groups of 5-6 students where he actively encourages the students to collaborate and engage in discussions while working on certain mathematical problems. This approach provides the students with a great opportunity to “real life” approach of seeking solutions.
