Stas

Hi, I'm Stas! I am a professional mathematician and a maths tutor. Currently, I am a research Data Scientist in the crop science sector as well as a supervisor and an affiliate lecturer at Cambridge University. Although my training is in theoretical mathematics, I love the applied side of maths. I greatly enjoy programming and keeping up with all the new tech.

Teaching Experience

I have 20 years of experience teaching mathematics, from A-level students to postgraduates at UK's top universities (Cambridge, Oxford, Warwick,...). I have taught both in a private capacity as well as in a university setting (tutorials, Oxbridge style supervisions, drop-in sessions, workshops).

At the postgraduate/professional level, my specialties are:

  • Statistics
  • Probability Theory
  • Machine Learning
  • Scientific Computing (R/Python)

but do get in touch if your are interested in a different field.

Tutoring Approach

Lessons are tailored to the student's needs but the fundamental principle is always gaining some intuition for and understanding of the underlying theory before tackling practical problems. Demystifying a formula goes a long way to making one feel comfortable using it!

I engaged Stasia to help with improving my understanding and use of statistics. Stasia is very knowledgeable and has always been very patient in her explanations of more complex subjects. Stasia has been flexible in arranging the meetings dates and venues and I have enjoyed my learning and developed a much better understanding of statistics.

ImanFirst Tutors

Nastasiya is an incredible tutor, and I am so grateful for her help. After reaching out due to health-related issues, I was worried that I would fall even further behind. Nastasiya's lessons are always well-prepared and paced, I've always felt comfortable asking questions, and I've always come away feeling more confident in what I've learned. I would recommend her to anyone.

MichaelFirst Tutors

Stasia was an outstanding tutor. Her knowledge of statistics and R is comprehensive, and she is able to break down relatively complex topics and functions. I have always struggled with the quantitative side of the natural sciences, but Stasia helped me to structure my approach in a logical and intuitive way. I would highly recommend her to anyone who needs assistance in anything related to statistics or statistical coding.

AnnaFirst Tutors

Stasia was very patient with me. I really struggle with maths and statistics and she was very calm and talked me through everything. She was also easy to talk to and flexible with meeting arrangements. Would recommend her again.

PriyaFirst Tutors

Nastasiya has been an excellent statistics tutor. Her clear teaching style and patience, coupled with her knowledge makes learning a sometimes abstract and difficult subject more enjoyable. I have learnt very much from her and have done well academically as a result! I wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone who wishes to learn about statistics.

LukeFirst Tutors

I came to Nastasiya with the aim of improving my Russian alongside my university degree. I have found my lessons to be very useful as they have allowed me to work on things which are hard to do at university where there is little 1-1 tuition. I feel like my knowledge of Russian has improved in particular my spoken Russian. I would most certainly recommend Nastasiya as I feel to have learnt a lot within a short space of time.

MichalinaFirst Tutors

Stasia is very knowledgeable and was always on time - thank you for your help!

When I decided to learn the Russian language, Nastasiya turned out to be a real find. I got to know her as an extremely well organized and reliable tutor. During the lessons, she is tremendously motivating and always explains any material to my utter satisfaction. Her patience and sense of humour also make her a very pleasant person to work with. Moreover, she is extraordinarily flexible and therefore helped me a great deal when it came to fitting lessons around my busy work schedule. All in all, I would recommend Nastasiya without hesitation.

JuliaFirst Tutors

Nastasiya helped my daughter to prepare for GCSE. I think she really cares about making a difference. My daughter is gaining a much better grasp on topics that previously seemed hard and complicated. She does explains topics thoroughly. She's a brilliant tutor.

AmyFirst Tutors

Due to my other commitments I was unable to meet with Nastasiya for any tutorials. However, I was very impressed with her organisational skills as she wished to have full details of all the topics which I wished to cover and the problems I had encountered in my studies. Therefore she is obviously a very focused and organised tutor whom I am sure would be able to provide excellent tutorials explaining all the required principles. She was prepared to meet me at very short notice to help me with my revision shortly before an exam and therefore seems extremely keen to assist students if at all possible. Whilst I could not meet Nastasiya due to my own schedule I would most certainly recommend her based on my experience.

MananFirst Tutors

Nastasiya is not only knowledgeable in her subject but able to communicate in a way that is understandable for a novice student. She is always helpful and I would would recommend her tuition services.

PetrosFirst Tutors

She helped me a lot in some questions in statistics to understand in depth the subject

FrancoFirst Tutors
AlexanderFirst Tutors

Nastasiya is always very well prepared for lessons and it has been really useful in the run up to A-Level exams to have such detailed explanations of exactly where the mathematical logic behind the topics come from, leading to a much deeper understanding of the subject. Very pleased with the progress so far!
