SAT, SAT Math 1, SAT Math 2, GMAT, GRE, GRE Math 1 and 2

Dear students and parents,

I am an enthusiastic and hard-working multilingual (English, Russian, Turkish, Azerbaijani) Math and Statistics educator and Data Analyst with 12 years of teaching and 16 years of research experience in an international environment. Focused on an outcome-based approach to progress and deadline-oriented. I usually hear from parents, that I make their kids love math, and it makes me the happiest teacher.

First, as a Math Teacher, my main aim is to encourage students to analyze the problem carefully and find different solutions for one question. This method helps students to choose the easiest way of solution for her/him during the exam and finish it in time. I teach students both ways how to solve questions without a calculator with math tricks, and how to use a calculator more effectively. As you know in the exam there might be non-calculator and calculator papers. Moreover, this ability helps students not only to understand the math subject deeply but also will be very helpful during their adult life.

Having teaching experience (Math and Statistics) in one of the top universities in the US (UW-Madison) helped me see the path of a student from the school bench to the university auditorium. Only by working in both school and university, you can understand what is better to learn for a student to be helpful in the future university years and how to show the connection between the math SAT and math at the university level.

Years of hands-on work experience and a keen interest in Math teaching as a profession (in both school and university), as a deep understanding of the connection between school and university Math have prepared me well to see the strengths and weaknesses of the student and how to use that strong side of a student to improve the gaps that student earned in her/his earlier years. Therefore, I believe that all these experiences will help me smoothly raise the level of my students and succeed in their future lives.

Sincerely,
Leila

Leila is kind, patient and knowledgeable, she put my daughter at ease immediately.
Very good lesson
Leila is wonderful to deal with and a great Maths teacher. She is teaching my 17 year old son High Level Maths for IB and he is really happy with Leila´s teaching. Leila is giving him the confidence to prepare for his exams and making it easy for him to grasp the different mathematical concepts. We are very happy!
Leila is very professional, patient, knowledgable. My daughter who is preparing for her IB is very happy with her:)
My daughter was delighted with her first maths lesson. Leila is a great teacher and really knows how to explain difficult topics in a simple, accessible manner. We can’t wait for the next lessons.

As a Math High-Level teacher in IBDP (International Baccalaureate Diploma Program) the part of my teaching also consisted of supervising students’ research projects. Previous research experience in the frame of UNDP (UN Development Program) by that time was very valuable. Being an IB Math Examiner helped me to see the clear picture of students' mistakes done during the solutions. So I teach students how to show their solutions to get more marks on the exam. Working with British School during this hard time of COVID taught me to be prepared for any challenges, to make decisions in a very short time, to be ready for any daily but very important changes. Teaching online became more interesting by using such helpful math tools as Desmos, Geogebra, TI 84 Calculator Online, etc. Having teaching experience (Math and Statistics) in one of the top universities of the US (UW-Madison) helped me clearly to see the path of a student from the school bench to the university auditorium. Only by working in both school and university, you can understand what is better to learn for a student to be helpful in the future university years. Years of hands-on work experience and a keen interest in Math teaching as a profession, excellent Math and Statistical skills, a deep understanding of IB Global mission, and being curious to learn the new curriculum (IGCSE, A-Level) have prepared me well for the challenges and opportunities of the Math Teacher position. Therefore, I believe all these experiences will help me smoothly rise the level of my students. Sincerely, Leila
