Pavel(Paul) Volkov

Curriculum Designer in Mathematics Education, focused on the Mathematical Circle Approach

I studied at a top physics-maths school in Moscow and graduated from MPEI (Radio Engineering Faculty, Class of ’85) – the best place for my field back then! Proud Lenin Scholarship holder, too.

My maths mentors? Legends!
 In school: Ivan Ilyich Tkachenko & Alexander Yakovlevich Khalamayzer.
 At university: Mikhail Leonidovich Krasnov & Stanislav Ivanovich Pokhozhaev – yes,
the same authors of those famous maths books! And yes, they gave me straight A’s! ✨
Thanks to them, I bring deep knowledge (and love!) of maths and physics into every lesson.

I tutor:
 School-level & advanced Maths, Geometry, and Physics
 Prep for all Maths Russian exams
 Prep for UK exams (7+, 8+, 11+, 13+ GCSE, . A-Level, STEP / MAT / TMUA
 International exams: SAT, IGCSE, IB (all levels) – in English too!
 Olympiad training

I've taught students from the UK, USA, Norway, and beyond – over 7,000 online lessons
and counting.

Extra fun facts:
 Studied Japanese in Okayama, Japan
 Attended RCSH teacher courses in 2018

My mission: Help students truly enjoy maths and physics, not just “get through it.” Many stay
with me until university entry – and some become Olympiad winners!

Happy to help – let’s learn with curiosity and a smile! ��
