Academic Advisor

Hello! I’m Diana Yusufova, the educational guidance professional at Machon L’Parnasa. 

In keeping with Machon’s reputation for a warm and caring environment, I meet with students individually to assess their career intentions and guide them in taking the appropriate courses for attaining their goal.

Many times, students have special requests that I try to accommodate. Along with our director, Esther Braun, I create the course schedules for each semester, anticipating scheduling difficulties that students might encounter such as two required courses scheduled at the same time, and rearrange them, giving students a smooth and problem-free registration. 

Even during the semester itself, students avail themselves of my availability and seek my advice on a whole range of different problems.  My whole purpose is to make our students comfortable in the college environment which is a key ingredient in the recipe for success.

Want to make an appointment? She’d love to hear from you. Call (646) 495-3816.
