By: Integral Math Academy “We saw a need in our community for a comprehensive math tutoring program,” says Marina. “I had already been tutoring at night after working in the Flagler Schools district office during the day, and upon meeting Galina, we realized that together we would be able to expand into a full time math academy,” she added. The co-owners are backed with extensive qualifications, and a passion for teaching that extends into every aspect of their business. Marina holds a Bachelors degree in Elementary Education, and began her teaching career as a high school math teacher in New York City. After having children of her own, she decided to go back to her elementary roots, where she taught kindergarten, second and sixth grade levels. When Marina completed her Masters Degree in Elementary Education focused in Mathematics, she relocated with her family to Florida. Marina then taught as a math instructor at Daytona State College, and after becoming a Florida certified elementary and math teacher, Marina went on to become an elementary math coach for grade K-6, and later a math curriculum specialist for grade K-8 at Flagler Schools. Galina holds a Masters Degree from Moscow State University of Electronics and Mathematics. Upon graduation she began her work in Engineering at Moscow Corporation NPO Almaz-Antey as developer anti-aircraft defense systems in Russia. Simultaneously she began tutoring mathematics to middle and high school students in Moscow. Her passion for teaching and tutoring grew, and when she relocated to Florida, she decided teaching was her true calling. Galina has been teaching as a High School math teacher at Volusia County and as a substitute math teacher at Flagler County. She is currently involved in Take Stock in Children mentoring program in Flagler County, and specializes in tutoring Algebra 1 and 2, Geometry, Pre-Calculus, Trigonometry, SAT and ACT Test Prep.
