Student Testimonials
Yulia is an excellent tutor. Not only is she knowledgeable and highly experienced, but she is also patient, enthusiastic and always encouraging. She really helped me prepare for the TOEFL. Yulia customized any lesson to suit my needs as a student. She taught me the academic skills I needed to ace the TOEFL test and be better prepared for college. Yulia is a role model and a pleasure to work with.
Nuriya A.

Yulia helped me to prepare for the TOEFL and SAT, and she turned out to be the best teacher I have ever worked with! I've never met such a supportive teacher in my life! I sincerely envy all Yulia's current and future students. I can't thank Yulia enough for the scores I received as a result.
Yana U.
Undergraduate student
I met Yulia when I first got accepted into SNHU and needed help with writing a research paper. I believe it's crucial to meet the right teacher at some point in our lives. Yulia turned out to be such a teacher for me. She is very flexible, compassionate but still knowledgeable and demanding. She also taught me a number of learning strategies and tools that I've been using ever since. I'm graduating with a bachelor's in criminal justice this academic year, and it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that I attribute a huge chunk of my success to Yulia.

Graduate student
Yulia eased my worries about the entire SAT process. Her curriculum was completely catered to me; she capitalized on my strengths and minimized my weaknesses. Her bright attitude helped me stay positive and motivated through my work. It was incredibly inspiring to see tangible results class by class as my understanding (and test scores) increased.
Mika
Undergraduate student
Yulia helped my busy 8th grade daughter to have a significant improvement in verbal and reading sections of the SSAT within a short period of time. In just 2 months, my daughter improved her reading score from 38th to 87th percentile and her verbal from 52nd to 79th percentile. Studying with Yulia was by far the most efficient way to prepare. I didn’t realize it was possible to memorize so many difficult words in such a short period of time, but it was possible with Yulia. My daughter memorized her new vocabulary for good and is still using it every day. Yulia knows the key how to prepare most effectively, gave her the best materials to study and inspired her to try hard. We were very lucky to find Yulia and recommend her very highly!
Olga T.
High school student
Yulia is a great tutor! She has an absolute knowledge in what she does. I highly recommend you to work with her. Yulia helped me to make a successful college essay and to edit it properly. She has also helped me to prepare for TOEFL test in a short period of time, explaining structure of the test and giving more than enough sources to practice. I’m grateful to her I have a very good score. I couldn’t ask for a better tutor.

I was happy to work with Yulia! The classes with her were valuable and efficient. She indicated both general ways to improve my results on exams and my weaknesses. Her recommendations helped me to boost my TOEFL score and improve my speaking and writing skills in a very short time. I definitely recommend her to those who want to achieve great results for different English exams. Yulia is a wonderful tutor!

I want to take a moment to thank you for all the incredible help and support you've given me. You have been a crucial part of my journey, especially with my IELTS and SAT preparation. You didn't just help me with exams; you broadened my perspective by discussing ideas and writing techniques, making me realize the importance of clear communication. Thanks to your help, I achieved what I achieved✨💓 This year's admissions cycle was incredibly competitive, but your dedication and countless hours of support played a significant role in my success. I was fortunate to get into university during Regular Decision, especially in such a challenging year. Thank you for everything, Yulia. Your mentorship has been more valuable than I can express, and I have learned so much from you.

Undergraduate student
Yulia is a professional tutor who knows exactly how to approach anyone that is struggling with academic English or wants to improve it to the maximum. She always knows how to advance the knowledge by giving students assignments that they need the most. Yulia always has all the resources that students require; she gave me all the information and resources that I needed for TOEFL, which I am really thankful for. I feel very fortunate to have found her because Yulia and I improved my English skills together as a team in a very short period of time (My TOEFL writing section improved significantly from 20 to 27!) Not only is she an incredibly smart tutor, but she is also the most compassionate, generous and supportive person I have ever met. She always motivated me to work hard and her lessons were truly my favorite. The process of studying with Yulia was smooth for me because I felt like I wanted to learn more and become a better version of myself.
Varya K.
Undergraduate student
I had a fantastic experience working with Yulia! She assisted me with my academic writing essays, and as an adult immigrant who never studied in an American school, I found her guidance invaluable. Yulia helped me understand the American writing structure, making it much easier for me to organize my thoughts and articulate them effectively. Her support truly made a difference in my writing journey!
Karina Moiseenko

Yulia is the most fabulous teacher I have ever met! She successfully helped me to get 105/120 TOEFL score on my first try within 2 months! Yulia is very resourceful, passionate, and patient, and customized my class to strengthen my English stage by stage. She provided tons of practice, trained me in strategic thinking in comprehending lengthy articles and writing an article effectively, and took her time to explain the issues that had been challenging for me till I completely understood. I was very lucky to meet Yulia, an outstanding professional English teacher!
Cindy Chang
Graduate student
Yulia is a very responsive and supportive tutor! She answered all my questions and concerns, helped me understand the evaluation criteria, and the logic behind the exams. For both speaking and writing tasks on the TOEFL, she always provided very detailed feedback. I believe this played a huge role in my scores of 28/30 for speaking and 29/30 for writing (114 in total). During SAT preparation, Yulia helped me carefully analyze my mistakes and develop a strategy to improve my score. My 720 on the language section made me very happy! I felt comfortable knowing I could always turn to her for support!
Luana V.
High school student
Several months of classes with Yulia were very effective and valuable for me. She is a really positive and interesting person. As a teacher, she knows how to find the right approach to teaching and inspires her students. At the same time, she is demanding, and this supports learning at a fast, effective pace. Classes with her really helped me pass the Duolingo English exam with a high score.
