Star Student Prep was founded by Avital Shchur, an educator, tutor, and aspiring oral surgeon with a deep passion for both science and mentorship. Avital’s fascination with oral surgery fuels her love of learning — a drive that she brings into every lesson she teaches. Her scientific curiosity and academic precision translate into an educational experience that helps students not only understand material but truly master it.
Avital has always believed that excellence in learning starts with passion. Her genuine love for working with children and students of all ages inspired her to build a tutoring company where every learner receives personalized support and encouragement to reach their highest potential. Whether helping a student refine their essay, strengthen their math foundations, or prepare for a high-level AP or Regents exam, Avital’s goal is to perfect each student’s skills and confidence, one session at a time.
Fluent in English and Russian, and conversational in Spanish, Avital connects naturally with diverse families and understands how to adapt her teaching approach to meet every student’s unique needs. Based in Brooklyn, New York, Star Student Prep proudly serves students and families across all U.S. states, offering flexible online sessions that fit seamlessly into busy schedules.
Every tutor on the Star Student Prep team shares Avital’s high standards and dedication to excellence. Our instructors are perfectionists by nature — organized, reliable, and committed to each student’s growth. They are graduates or current students at Ivy League and other top private universities, having personally excelled in the very subjects they teach. Together, we ensure that every lesson reflects the quality, care, and precision that define our mission.
At Star Student Prep, learning isn’t just about grades — it’s about building confidence, discipline, and a lifelong love of knowledge. We’re here to make academic support convenient, effective, and inspiring for every student and family we serve.
