Bio
Saideh Malekafzali
Qualities I find in Russ are that he is enthusiastic, loyal, dedicated, and honest; he possesses a wonderful sense of humor, balanced with a great deal of integrity. Infusing his tutorial sessions with laughter is one of Russ’ best tools, but he also understands when it’s necessary to be more exacting in order to derive the best from even the most difficult and problematic students. Russ believes in making education more accessible to all students, especially in historically diverse and economically disadvantaged communities; he provides one-on-one academic support to underperforming students with a range of issues from learning disabilities, neurodevelopment disorders, social/behavioral problems, and/or who may be emotionally disturbed. I recommend Russ without reservation. He has added immensely to our impressive tutoring corps here at Visions. Saideh Malekafzali

Russell always comes in with a great energy and a team attitude. He is flexible and always willing to help without complaining. I enjoy how he puts his passion into his work. Can can be focused and even stern when needed, but overall keeps a fun and positive tone, which I find makes his interactions with others very productive. Musically, he is very talented and always looking to grow. He is versatile in both traditional/classical area as well as popular, jazz and improvising. He literally "plays well with others" by collaborating on music with our other staff as well. He is respectful and kind and a great asset to our team.
