Private Lessons & Coaches in Bayside, NY

Hi, I’m Sasha! I hold a PhD in Physics from Columbia University, where I currently teach. With 14 years of experience tutoring Math, Physics and Test Prep, I specialize in making complex concepts clear and manageable for high school through college students. My style is tailored to your pace and personality, breaking down tough topics with supportive practice. I love guiding students to those rewarding breakthrough moments where everything clicks. Let's build your confidence together!

I hold a Bachelor's degree with a 3.7 GPA, not because math came naturally to me, but because I learned how to break it down for better understanding and recall on quizzes and exams. I specialize in Algebra, Trigonometry and Pre-Calculus. My sessions start by figuring out your learning style and where you're struggling. From there, we'll break concepts down step-by-step and practice until they click, so you leave every session not just prepared but genuinely confident.

Berklee College of Music graduate, guitarist, songwriter, and recording artist with 10+ years of experience. I teach beginners through intermediate players, focusing on the music students actually love—from rock and alternative to pop and blues. My lessons combine strong fundamentals, ear training, songwriting, and creativity to keep students engaged. As an active touring and recording musician, I help students build skills, confidence, and their own unique sound.
