I am Dr. Olga Filatova, a lifelong learner and the founder of Bridge to Excellence. I love to teach! For more than 20 years, I have taught writing, rhetoric, and all areas of ESL in Great Britain, Turkey, Russia, and the USA, focusing on adult, corporate, K-12, and higher education.

I also love to write! I am the lead instructional designer and co-founder of FlashPass, a workplace development platform that has helped hundreds of companies in Ohio receive free training through the Tech Credit program.

But more than anything, I love to help high school seniors achieve their academic goals and get into the college of their dreams. My students have been accepted to Stanford University, Case Western Reserve University, Loyola University, University of Pittsburgh, University of Minnesota, University of Illinois, Arizona State University, University of Cincinnati, Ohio State University, Miami University, Kent State University, Ohio University, University of Louisville, Texas Christian University, Indiana University, Oberlin College, University of Chicago, and Northern Kentucky University, just to name a few.

I also help adults reach their goals in professional certification. My clients have successfully passed Notary Exams, Ohio State Cosmetology Tests, PRAXIS tests, PMP tests, and many other professional exams.
