Very knowledgable and helpful. Our son said he makes the lessons interesting, instead of just talking. He helped improve our son’s grade. Very recommended!

At my age, learning computers felt intimidating, and I honestly wasn’t sure I could do it. Nikita changed that completely. He was so patient and never made me feel rushed or embarrassed for asking the same question more than once. He taught me how to use my computer with confidence and even introduced me to a little bit of programming in a way that was easy to understand. I now feel comfortable doing things I never thought I’d be able to do. I’m truly grateful and highly recommend him.

I’m a professional developer and booked Nikita to help identify and close some knowledge gaps. He quickly figured them out, we're focusing on them right now. Nikita gives me specialized tasks instead of generic material. Our lessons are on-topic, planned out. We're covering programming, both high level and in-depth, trigonometry, vector math.

My son has been working with Nikita for a couple months, they're focusing on programming and math, and his grades have gone up significantly since the beginning. Nikita said he was trying to cultivate actual understanding instead of doing repetitive tasks, and it seems to be working really well so far.

We’ve had a great experience with Nikita. He teaches coding and math through game development, which really clicked with my daughter and kept her engaged. Over time, we’ve seen steady improvement in her grades. Nikita is patient, clear, and adapts well to how she learns, even made a personal curriculum for her. I’d for sure recommend him to other parents looking for a practical, motivating approach to math and coding.
