For parents
You don't need to remember any algebra. Put a lesson on, sit beside them, and ask the one question I leave at the end. Ten minutes, and nobody has to feel slow.
We watch one on Sunday evenings. Now my son explains them to me.
Free · every Sunday
One short problem on Sunday, a hint on Wednesday, the worked answer on Friday. Good for a teenager on their own, or for the two of you over tea.
About
I've taught maths at a secondary school in Almaty for twenty-two years. Most of my students aren't bad at maths. Somewhere along the way they were rushed, and they stopped asking.
So I started filming short lessons for the ones who wanted to go over it again at home. Their parents began watching too. Now I make one or two a week, in Russian and English, after the last bell.
A question about the course, a worksheet, or a topic you'd like a lesson on. I read everything and reply within a week.
