About Gaia
My name is Gaia, and I'm originally from Armenia and Russia. I hold a Mathematics degree from Moscow State University and a grad degree from MIT.
My professional life has been centered on math education for over a decade — I led product at the largest online learning platform in Russia, building gamified math and learning products for millions of students all over the world. Working at that scale gave me a deep understanding of how students learn and where they get stuck.
What keeps me grounded is tutoring. I've never stepped away from working with individual students directly, and that real, ongoing contact with learners makes me a sharper educator.
I teach in both English and Russian and work with students of all ages and levels.

I've been teaching mathematics since 2010 and have worked with students of all ages and levels — from elementary school kids just getting started to adults brushing up for professional purposes.
What sets me apart is that alongside tutoring, I spent years building large-scale math education products — including online competitions used by millions of students. That experience gave me a deep understanding of how people actually learn math, where confusion tends to show up, and how to explain tricky concepts in ways that genuinely land.
My lessons are built around understanding, not memorizing. I start by figuring out exactly where a student is and what they need, then shape every lesson around that. Some students come to me struggling with confidence; others want to sharpen their problem-solving or prepare for an exam. I adapt to all of it.
Recommendations
Recommendations are written by the tutor's friends, family, and acquaintances.
Gaia is a wonderful tutor, and I really enjoy learning with her. She is always well prepared, and every class feels engaging, thoughtful, and adapted to my needs. What I value most is her ability to explain complex things in a clear and practical way, while keeping the lessons interesting and motivating. She has a very personal approach and really understands my learning path, which makes each lesson feel meaningful. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a teacher who is professional, supportive, and truly dedicated to helping students improve.
I found Gaia through a recommendation — a mutual friend had seen her GRE scores and knew she'd tutored others through the same process. That's a pretty convincing endorsement before you even meet someone. Working with her lived up to it completely. She quickly identified where my gaps were and built our sessions around exactly what I needed. Her explanations are clear and patient, and she has a way of making even the concepts I'd always found intimidating feel approachable. I finished prep with a score I was genuinely proud of and would recommend her to anyone looking for a tutor who really knows her subject and knows how to teach it.
