Math for Kids (Ages 6–13): Confidence, Understanding, and Joy
Hello! My name is Stella. I have two university degrees: one in Clinical Psychology and one in Engineering Mathematics. This rare combination helps me see not just the numbers, but also how a child's mind works — where they struggle, why they feel stuck, and how to gently guide them forward.
I specialize in teaching children aged 6 to 13. Whether your child is just starting with basic arithmetic, needs support with fractions, pre-algebra, or geometry, or simply needs to build confidence in math — I'm here to help.
I also have extensive experience working with children with ADHD, dyslexia, dysgraphia, and other learning differences. I know how to adapt explanations, hold attention, and create a safe space where it's okay to make mistakes and ask questions.
Lessons are conducted in Russian, but all mathematical terms are explained in English as well — this helps children easily navigate international textbooks (Common Core) and prepares them for future bilingual learning environments.
More than 10 years of teaching experience, including 5 years fully online. I work with students from all over the world from my base in Cyprus.
The first lesson is a friendly diagnostic session — we'll get to know each other, assess strengths and areas for growth, and build a personalized learning plan.

About Me
Hello! I'm Stella.
I’ve always been fascinated by two things: how numbers work and how people think. That’s why I became both an Engineer-Mathematician and a Clinical Psychologist. These two paths may seem different, but together they give me a unique perspective on teaching. I don’t just explain formulas — I see how a child’s mind processes information, where it gets stuck, and how to gently guide it forward.
I’ve been teaching mathematics for over 10 years, with the last 5 years fully online. I love working with children aged 6 to 13, especially those who find math difficult or feel anxious about it. Every child is different, and I enjoy the challenge of finding that one explanation that makes things click.
I believe that math is not about memorising rules — it’s about understanding, curiosity, and confidence. My goal is to make sure every child leaves a lesson feeling a little smarter and a lot more confident.
Outside of teaching, I enjoy reading, traveling, and learning new things. I currently live in Cyprus and work with students from all over the world.
I look forward to meeting you and your child!
Здравствуйте! Я Стелла.
Меня всегда увлекали две вещи: как устроены числа и как работает человеческий мозг. Поэтому я стала и инженером-математиком, и клиническим психологом. Эти два образования помогают мне видеть в каждом ученике не просто школьника, а личность — со своими сильными сторонами, страхами и способами восприятия.
Я преподаю математику уже более 10 лет, из них 5 лет — онлайн. Больше всего я люблю работать с детьми от 6 до 13 лет, особенно с теми, кто считает математику сложной или скучной. Для меня нет ничего радостнее, чем видеть, как у ребёнка загораются глаза, когда он наконец понимает тему.
Убеждена, что математика — это не заучивание правил, а логика, любопытство и уверенность. Моя цель — чтобы после каждого занятия ребёнок чувствовал себя чуточку умнее и гораздо увереннее.
Живу на Кипре, работаю с учениками со всего мира. Буду рада познакомиться с вами и вашим ребёнком!
