Why More U.S. Parents Are Ditching Standard Math Tutoring for Russian Math Tutors

The Soviet-born system behind Olympiad wins, sky-high test scores, and “I finally get it” moments.

-- Parents across the U.S. are quietly pulling their kids out of traditional tutoring programs—and enrolling them in something radically different: Russian Math Tutors (RMT). Based on a logic-first Soviet-era curriculum, RMT is helping students not only crush math tests but actually love the subject—and it’s changing futures in the process.

“My kid went from dreading math homework to asking for more problems,”
says Yulia Zhamgotseva, whose son now competes in national Olympiads. “This is the first time it clicked. It’s not just tutoring—it’s a whole new way of thinking.”

Russian Math Tutors isn’t just another online tutoring service. It’s the only U.S. platform offering real Russian Math instruction—both live online and in person—delivered by multilingual instructors trained in the same math system that produced generations of world-class engineers, scientists, and codebreakers.The method? Forget rote repetition. RMT’s flagship Build Your Own Math (BYOM) program gives kids the tools to break down complex problems, think independently, and build confidence that lasts beyond the test. The curriculum has been re-engineered for the U.S. while keeping the power of its origins intact.

“We’re not here to reteach what’s already broken,”
says Alexander Kolchinsky, RMT’s founder and a Silicon Valley tech veteran. “We’re here to give kids a head start on mastering logic, structure, and deep problem-solving—skills they’ll use for the rest of their lives.”

Here’s what sets RMT apart:

  • Live lessons, online or in-person—flexible for any family
  • Multilingual tutors—including English, Russian, French, and Hindi
  • Affordable rates from just $18/hour
  • Results that show—higher test scores, math competition wins, and real confidence
  • Free trial—get two full sessions before paying a cent
  • Charter school sponsorships for California homeschoolers

RMT is trusted by families in the U.S., Canada, and the U.K.—especially by those who’ve tried everything else. It’s not about cramming. It’s about transformation. “Our sons gained not just better grades, but real confidence and clarity,” says Elena Pinkhasov, a parent whose kids have been enrolled for over two years.
And parents aren’t the only ones noticing. Since launching in 2020, Russian Math Tutors has been featured in the Wall Street Journal, New York Post, and London Times—recognition driven by outcomes, not hype.
