Great tutor/ High Recommendation!

Fedja has given support of over 60 tutoring lessons this semester for a course in Dynamics (Engineering Class). He is very patient, knowledgable and works hard to help me understand the material. He has also been very flexible with last minute scheduling requests, which has been appreciated. Highly Recommend Fedja!!

Fedja was awesome and quick!

Fedja helped me solve my homework assignment by providing materials that I could use. We went over the book and the methods to find answers. He gave me a clear idea of how to approach each task and was able to point me in the right direction. I will definitely be using his services going forward.

MATLAB wizard

Super helpful when it comes to debugging MATLAB code. He is very understanding and knows how to make complex topics easier to grasp.

Markus, 1 lesson with Fedja

Patient and helpful

Fedja helped me tremendously with my data structures class. He was very patient with me as I am behind the curve of my data structures class and was able to help me through an assignment after a couple of sessions. He was definitely knowable on the topics at hand and was adaptable despite my class being in a different language then what he was expecting. Overall he was a great tutor and was an enormous help.
