Dr. Konvalina has been one of the most popular professors in the math department of the University of Nebraska-Omaha for many years. I have taken four college math classes and done a year of math research with him. We are currently working together to create a computer program that will provide comprehensive training for the ACT Math section. In the long run, we hope to expand this program to provide top quality automated tutoring in all of the traditional math subjects.
Testimonial: "Even as a high school student, Igor was without a doubt the best student I have ever had in my advanced college mathematics courses. As a researcher, Igor made significant contributions to our mathematical biology projects and was essential in the discovery of the K2 fractal (which has been used as the logo for this web site, or click here to view the full paper). As an educator, Igor implements unique and innovative methods to improve the way math is taught. In fact, he and I are exploring revolutionary methods to improve mathematical education on a variety of levels."

Bruce Davis is my supervisor at the Math and Science Learning Center at Saint Louis Community College-Florissant Valley. He has supervised me as I tutored numerous students in a variety of subjects, including prealgebra, algebra, geometry, advanced algebra, calculus, statistics, and physics over the last several months.
Testimonial: "Igor is impressively versatile and expertly fluent in successfully remedying students' conceptual and computational difficulties in topics ranging from developmental arithmetic to epsilon-delta proofs in calculus. He is equally adept at explaining pure mathematics and applications in lucid, readily accessible terms. His good humor and relaxed, informal manner easily enable him to gain students' willing cooperation and build their confidence."

Dan is a PhD student in Systems Science (an applied math) at Washington University in St. Louis. I tutored him for a semester in Advanced Calculus, the most advanced theoretical math course required for his degree.
Testimonial: “Igor helped me through Introduction to Analysis. Igor provided a structured learning plan where we studied the notes and solved problems. In my opinion, the best aspect of his teaching was his ability to bring very abstract and complicated principles down to an intuitive and manageable level. He was always well-prepared and ready to help. While the class was very difficult, Igor made it bearable and even fun.”

Testimonial: "I have had four different math tutors before Igor and Igor by far blows all of them out of the water. He is very patient and helps you learn to solve problems logically and step by step. Igor goes beyond just teaching you how to solve problems, by making you truly understand the material inside and out. Unlike my other tutors, whose teaching styles were very dull, Igor has an exciting and charismatic style of teaching. He helped me to raise my ACT math score from a 25 to a 32. With Igor's help, I also had the highest grade in my precalculus class for most of the semester, and received a college recommendation letter from my precalculus teacher."
