Hello everyone! I am pleased to announce that I will be teaching various courses here on Udemy including Algebra 1 and 2, pre-Calculus, Calculus 1, 2, 3 and multivariable Calculus, and Russian among other courses. On my free time I love learning new subjects and topics like Japanese, playing my guitar, doing amazing hikes, as well as playing and teaching chess. Having migrated from a third World country Uzbekistan to the U.S., I understand that not everybody has access to college or universities. That is why I love giving back to the communities around the World by teaching various beneficial courses online which could help students of different backgrounds to improve their skills in various amazing subjects! Thank you.
