Dr Nastasya G.
PhD educated maths tutor with 20 years of experience
About
I am a professional mathematician with a PhD in Probability Theory from the University of Warwick. Currently, I am a research Data Scientist in the crop science sector as well as a supervisor and an affiliate lecturer at Cambridge University. Although my training is in theoretical mathematics, I love the applied side of maths. I greatly enjoy programming and keeping up with all the new tech (hello LLMs!).
I have 20 years of experience teaching mathematics, from A-level students to postgraduates at UK's top universities (Cambridge, Oxford, Warwick,...). I have taught both in a private capacity as well as in a university setting (tutorials, Oxbridge style supervisions, drop-in sessions, workshops).
At the postgraduate/professional level, my specialties are:
- Statistics
- Probability Theory
- Machine Learning
- Scientific Computing (R/Python)
but do get in touch if your are interested in a different field.
Lessons are tailored to the student's needs but the fundamental principle is always gaining some intuition for and understanding of the underlying theory before tackling practical problems. Demystifying a formula goes a long way to making one feel comfortable using it!

Reviews from First Tutors
Imported from Dr Nastasya G.'s First Tutors profile before the site went dark. Shown separately from Tutorperch reviews — today they don't feed this tutor's Tutorperch rating or ranking.
How we verify these
Each imported review went through admin review. The tutor proved ownership of the First Tutors profile via one of two paths:
- Photo match. The First Tutors avatar matched the tutor's identity-verified Tutorperch photo, confirmed by admin.
- Cryptographic email check. The tutor uploaded an original First Tutors email (.eml). We verified the DKIM signature against First Tutors' signing keys and cross-checked the embedded tutor ID against the claimed profile.
The review text is the original reviewer's own words, quoted as-is. We verified the tutor's ownership of the profile, not the truth of what each individual reviewer wrote.

My daughter just got a 1st in her 1st year maths (Morse) at Warwick university thanks to Stasia tutoring her in a few modules. Very pleased.

Nastasiya is an incredible tutor, and I am so grateful for her help. After reaching out due to health-related issues, I was worried that I would fall even further behind. Nastasiya's lessons are always well-prepared and paced, I've always felt comfortable asking questions, and I've always come away feeling more confident in what I've learned. I would recommend her to anyone.

Stasia was an outstanding tutor. Her knowledge of statistics and R is comprehensive, and she is able to break down relatively complex topics and functions. I have always struggled with the quantitative side of the natural sciences, but Stasia helped me to structure my approach in a logical and intuitive way. I would highly recommend her to anyone who needs assistance in anything related to statistics or statistical coding.

Stasia was very patient with me. I really struggle with maths and statistics and she was very calm and talked me through everything. She was also easy to talk to and flexible with meeting arrangements. Would recommend her again.

Nastasiya has been an excellent statistics tutor. Her clear teaching style and patience, coupled with her knowledge makes learning a sometimes abstract and difficult subject more enjoyable. I have learnt very much from her and have done well academically as a result! I wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone who wishes to learn about statistics.

I came to Nastasiya with the aim of improving my Russian alongside my university degree. I have found my lessons to be very useful as they have allowed me to work on things which are hard to do at university where there is little 1-1 tuition. I feel like my knowledge of Russian has improved in particular my spoken Russian. I would most certainly recommend Nastasiya as I feel to have learnt a lot within a short space of time.
