Stella Gevantmakher

I am the proud owner of both Genius Kids Academy and New Generation Learning Center. I graduated from Tashkent State University, where I majored in biology, chemistry, science, and soil studies. Additionally, I have a strong educational background.

Throughout my career, I have contributed to the field of science with several publications in esteemed science magazines and conducted various research projects. These experiences have deepened my understanding and passion for early childhood development.

In 2005, I decided to dedicate more of my time and energy to the education and well-being of children. I am committed to fostering their social and emotional development, as well as their academic growth. This dedication led to the creation of Genius Kids Academy and New Generation Learning Center, where I strive to implement innovative teaching methods and create a nurturing environment for our young learners.

My goal is to inspire and support children as they navigate their educational journeys, ensuring they develop the skills and confidence needed to succeed in an ever-changing world.

I’ve had the pleasure of working in the toddlers' room at Genius Kids for nearly eight years.

I have a particular love for arts and crafts, and I enjoy finding creative ways to engage the children in hands-on projects that spark their imaginations.
