[quote=Anonymous]At the tender age of 7, while most kids were learning to ride bikes and play video games, Natalia Latuskiewcz was pondering early principles of multiplication and algebra two hours per week in her Russian math class.

“I thought my daughter could do more than what she was offered [in school],” her mother, Anna Latuskiewcz, told The Post. The 44-year-old Stanford alum, who works as a data scientist and investor, enrolled Natalia in the Russian School of Mathematics seven years ago, paying $3,000 for the tutoring — on top of $30,000 annually for tuition at an all-girls private elementary school.

“If she wants to be a doctor, an engineer — math will never hurt. Her math will increase the understanding of the world,” said the mom of four who lives in Medina, Washington. “The sky is the limit.”

The latest must-have for well-to-do parents eager to give their children any and every advantage is Russian math classes. They utilize a method that was developed in the Soviet Union during the Cold War and prioritize reasoning, critical thinking and abstract principals over brute memorization. Companies offering the instruction are seeing a boom in enrollment as wealthy families look to infiltrate the Ivy League.
