Educational Experience:
Originally I came from Russia where I was trained as an architect. I taught math, physics, and architectural design at a technical college in Volgograd, Russia. I came to America about 13 years ago. During that time I’ve gained BS in Math Teaching and started working as a math teacher for Hortonville High School. This Fall is my 8th year with Hortonville High School. I teach Applied Algebra, Functions, Trigonometry and Advanced Algebra here. I have been teaching for WVS since 2003.

Personal Info/Hobbies:
I have MA in Arts Studio, painting and drawing. So, in my spare time I like to do acrylic painting. I like to paint still life and landscapes.

Personal Statement about Online Teaching:
I feel that a real challenge of online teaching is establishing sufficient communication with my students. In a situation when I don’t see my students face to face and connect to them by e-mails I found that sometimes it is hard to know what kind of problems they have working on their courses unless the students let me know.

The rewards of online teaching are observing my students improving their computer, communication and math skills. Also I enjoy watching my students learning how to manage their own success.
