Выпускник физического факультета МГУ, обучался педагогике в Harvard University. Уже более десяти лет помогаю детям и взрослым понять и полюбить математику, физику, астрономию и биологию.
Готовлю к олимпиадам и экзаменам в лучшие вузы мира, вдохновляю на открытия и верю, что образование должно быть живым приключением.
Для меня важно, чтобы ученики чувствовали себя уверенно и не боялись ошибаться. Всегда стараюсь дать поддержку и показать связь науки с реальной жизнью. Умею доступно объяснять сложное.
Люблю науку, музыку и путешествия.

This course helps teenagers and adults learn to think clearly, distinguish facts from opinions, recognize logical fallacies, analyze information, and make well-reasoned decisions.
The goal of the course is to develop critical thinking as a foundation for education, career, and life.
We work with real-life situations, teaching students to see the essence of issues and think steadily in a complex world of information.
Classes are held in Russian.

Course description & goals
Systematic approach: Each topic is studied in a “theory + practice” format—first understanding, then application.
Real-life relevance: Advertising, news, social media, science, and everyday cases become subjects of analysis.
Argumentation skills: Participants learn to build and defend their position, engage in discussions and debates.
Information resilience: We develop the ability to recognize manipulation and critically evaluate sources.
Confidence and independence: Working with hypotheses, case studies, and non-standard problems strengthens thinking and fosters intellectual freedom.

Course benefits and outcomes
Course levels and topics
Course 1 (Basic) — 12 lessons
A critical thinking course where teenagers learn to analyze facts, cognitive biases, and manipulation—from memes and charts to debates and news. We verify sources, train argumentation skills, and learn to make decisions based on data rather than emotions.
Course 2 (Advanced) — 12 lessons
An advanced critical thinking course: we analyze complex cases, learn to visualize causal relationships, evaluate data, run experiments, and defend positions with well-founded arguments.
Each course consists of 12 lessons. Every topic is covered in two sessions: one theoretical and one practical.

Who it’s for
The course is designed for:
Teenagers aged 12 and older who want to develop their thinking, learn to reason, debate, and make decisions.
Anyone who wants to see deeper, be less vulnerable to manipulation, and become stronger in argumentation.
Those interested in leadership, public speaking, and the philosophy of thinking.

Theo is a lead teacher of mathematics and natural sciences. An educator and mentor. The smartest capybara in the room.
A graduate of the Faculty of Physics at Moscow State University, with training in pedagogy at Harvard University. For over ten years, I have been helping children and adults understand and love mathematics, physics, astronomy, and biology.
I prepare students for olympiads and exams for admission to the world’s leading universities, inspire discovery, and believe that education should be a living adventure.
It is important to me that students feel confident and are not afraid to make mistakes. I always strive to offer support and show the connection between science and real life. I explain complex ideas in a clear and accessible way.
I love science, music, and travel.

Courses
Course 1. Basic.
- 12 lessons:
- Logic and arguments: learning to build clear arguments and spot gaps in reasoning.
- Fact-checking and “red flags”: quickly verifying sources, dates, and bold claims.
- Visual information: how charts, photos, and memes can change meaning with small adjustments.
- Cognitive traps: where our own thinking misleads us and how to “insure” ourselves against it.
- The scientific method: formulating hypotheses and running small, honest experiments.
- Emotions and algorithms: why feeds hook us and how to maintain focus and clarity.
- Causation vs. coincidence: when we can say “X is because of Y” — and when we can’t.
- Argumentation and defending a position: debating by the rules and fairly strengthening an opponent’s argument.
- Risk literacy: translating “50% lower risk” into clear numbers and absolute values.
- Myths and pseudoscience: distinguishing “sounds scientific” from real science through real examples.
- Evidence-based decisions: making everyday choices (gadgets, activities, routines) based on data, not noise.
- Final sprint: a fast mix of tasks (text–chart–photo–debate) and progress reflection.
Critical and Scientific Thinking (Ages 12–16)
The price is for 1 month (4 classes), paid monthly.
12 lessons. The scientific method, experiments, cognitive biases, and how to interact with AI, etc.

Course 2. Advanced
- 12 lessons:
- Warm-up bootcamp: complex cases with red flags and visual “combos.”
- Visual Pro: redesigning misleading charts into honest and clear ones.
- Causal diagrams (DAGs): mapping relationships to see what to control in data.
- Experiments and A/B testing: randomization made simple and where false “effects” arise.
- Replication and reliability: why one study isn’t the truth and what reproducibility means.
- Calibration and forecasting: learning to say “70% confident” — and actually match it.
- Data in the news: rewriting sensational headlines into honest statements about risk and percentages.
- OSINT lab: verifying photos, videos, and geolocation using basic tools.
- AI under the microscope: exposing model errors and auditing responses properly.
- Rhetoric and public speaking: speech structure, cross-examination questions, and calm thesis defense.
- Project workshop: collecting data, creating visuals, writing arguments and noting limitations.
- Demo Day: pitch + Q&A, evaluated for clarity, accuracy, and integrity.
- Classes start in April 2026.
Each child takes a “gentle entry” assessment—either a short conversation and mini-lesson, or a set of tasks we send as a file. This helps us place the student in the right-level group.
If it turns out to be too easy or too challenging, we can offer one-on-one lessons or form a mini-group.

We aim to form groups with similar skill levels. Even if at the beginning it’s a bit easier for some and harder for others, in our experience within 1.5–2 months students level out and become a team.
If the gap in level is significant, we’ll suggest an individual format or a different group.

Classes are accessible from a computer, tablet, or phone.
Yes, you can. The main requirement is a stable internet connection and access to a Google account.
Yes, all classes are recorded. If a child misses a class, they can watch the recording at a convenient time..
Yes. We will send a list of topics already covered and materials for self-study. If needed, you can take one or two one-on-one lessons to comfortably join the group.
Homework is assigned via Google Classroom, where students also submit their completed work. During classes, we review difficult tasks and mistakes together.
