Hi, I’m Dr. Ilya - a professional Chemistry Tutor and Chemistry Education Expert. I hold a PhD in Chemistry and have built a career in both academia and industry.
I work with high school and university students across Canada, helping them understand complex concepts, improve problem-solving skills, and perform at their best on exams.
Most of my students achieve top grades and gain admission to competitive university programs in Canada and abroad.

Assessment and Setting Goals
In our first session, we’ll start with a conversation to get to know each other. I’ll assess the student’s current knowledge level, and we’ll discuss their goals. If time permits, we can have a short free trial class to learn about a topic or concept of student's choice
