Olympiad Mathematics has shaped my life from the start: I was admitted to the Faculty of Mathematics at Moscow State University without sitting a single entrance exam, thanks to top finishes in competitions such as the Russian Sharygin Geometry Olympiad, the Moscow Mathematical Olympiad and the All-Siberian Open School Olympiad. After seven years teaching Olympiad Maths and Programming - both independently and at various London Schools of Mathematics & Programming - I’ve guided students to everything from Gold in the Primary Maths Challenge to the highest STEP scores and admission to their dream universities.

Alongside teaching, I have worked professionally as a Data Scientist and Quantitative Developer, building models that power real-world decisions in finance and tech. That industry experience lets me weave practical examples into every lesson, showing how the abstract beauty of mathematics and the logic of code drive algorithms, trading systems and everyday apps. My goal is to inspire students not just to solve problems on paper, but to see how those ideas come alive beyond the classroom.
