Meet Our Teachers

IRYNA VELBYTSKAFounder & Lead Mathematics Instructor

An energetic educator and entrepreneur, Iryna blends rigorous math training with the creativity of music and art to ignite every student’s passion for STEM. A graduate of Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv with both bachelor’s and master’s degrees in Mathematics and a certified teaching credential, she designs AI-ready programs where mathematics intersects with technology and logic games. Under her guidance, learners at Telerom Math School—from Connecticut to Florida—have earned top honors in international competitions such as Math Kangaroo.

Teaching Philosophy
“Mathematics is the creative language that explains our world,” Iryna says. Drawing on experience in New Haven public schools, after-school programs, and her own studies at elite STEM boarding schools (Kolmogorov Physics-Math School 18 and Kyiv Lyceum 145), she crafts interdisciplinary lessons that let students explore ideas, connect fields, and build lifelong confidence in STEM.

Andrii KryvoruchkoInstructor of Mathematical Logic and Chess

An educator who merges mathematical precision with legal reasoning, he helps students develop sharp logical and strategic minds. Holding master’s degrees in both Mathematics and Law, he shows young players how to spot patterns, weigh evidence, and craft winning plans on and off the chessboard. Viewing chess as a training ground for critical thinking, focus, and decisive action, he tailors each lesson to a child’s style, explains positions through mathematical logic, and maintains a calm, encouraging classroom. Under his guidance, Telerom Math School teams have earned trophies in scholastic tournaments across Connecticut and Florida.

Teaching Philosophy
“Chess teaches us to think before we act,” he says. He weaves that principle into every chess and logic session, guiding learners to trace cause and effect, weigh options, and express ideas with clarity and confidence. The habits they build extend far beyond the 64 squares.

$Tymofii Kryvoruchko$

Tymofii KryvoruchkoRobotics Instructor

Tymofii is a data-driven engineer who pairs a systems mindset with leading-edge AI to spark students’ enthusiasm for robotics and coding. He holds a B.S. in Systems Analysis and is completing an M.S. in Artificial Intelligence & Machine Learning, researching how learning algorithms make autonomous systems smarter and more dependable.

Teaching Philosophy
“The best way to understand technology is to build it.”
Guided by this belief, Tymofii designs classes around rapid prototyping, focused error analysis, and industry-style demos. This hands-on approach gives learners robust STEM skills and a clear picture of the part robotics and AI will play in shaping tomorrow’s world.

In every class: Contest Corner

Here are sample problem types we’ll explore in class (familiar, contest‑style, low‑stress). Each comes with kid‑friendly visuals and multiple‑choice practice.

Why We Teach the Way We Do

The world is changing at a dizzying speed. The World Economic Forum noted that “more than half of today’s primary-school students will work in professions that do not yet exist” (Davos, 2016). Therefore, flexibility of thinking, the ability to solve non-standard tasks, and the capacity to use their full intellectual potential are especially valued. These skills will be the focus of our course.

We solve real math together — working problems out loud, modeling multiple strategies, and turning mistakes into “aha!” moments.
