Alisa Teplyakova, a child prodigy, graduated from the Russian State University of Economics and became a psychologist. What is known

Alisa Teplyakova, who gained fame by enrolling at Moscow State University at the age of nine, graduated from the Russian State University for the Humanities (RGGU) with a degree in educational psychology at the age of 13 and has already started working. The cost of one consultation with a young specialist is 50 thousand rubles. About her studies at Moscow State University, RGGU and work by profession — in the material of Izvestia.

What is known about Alice's admission to Moscow State University

Alice became widely known in the summer of 2021, after she mastered the school curriculum at the age of eight, passed the Unified State Exam in Russian, specialized mathematics, biology, chemistry and computer science, and later, a year later, entered the commercial department of the Faculty of Psychology at Moscow State University. However, in September, almost immediately after the start of classes, the girl stopped appearing at the university.

During the winter session, Alice received grades of "satisfactory" and "unsatisfactory" in several subjects, and her family had a conflict with representatives of the educational institution. The child's father, Evgeny Teplyakov, said that the teachers allegedly deliberately failed his daughter in the exam. At the same time, during the exam, which only the student could attend, the man, waiting for the girl at the guard post, tried to break through, shouted and threatened the university staff, and also attacked the head of the department of the faculty.

After that, Alice's family transferred her first to Moscow Pedagogical State University (MPGU), where she studied by correspondence under the program "Psychological and Pedagogical Education", and in 2023 - to the Russian State University of Economics.

What is known about the RGGU diploma and counseling in psychology

Alice's education took place in correspondence and distance forms, so the girl did not have to stay at the university all the time. According to the educational institution, the young student had no problems with passing the disciplines, she passed all the tasks on time and passed the certification mainly for "good" and "excellent".

On February 26, 2026, Alice had a full-time defense of her final qualifying thesis (WRC) with a five-member commission, including the chairman. At this event, the girl was accompanied by her mother Natalia. The members of the examination committee rated the student "good", while saying that she had demonstrated a sufficient understanding of the topic, although some conclusions in the work were not sufficiently supported by arguments.

The girl's father, Evgeny, noted that Alice's level of training exceeded the qualifications of some members of the commission. According to representatives of the RGGU, her parents were involved in the educational process — they repeatedly entered into a dialogue with teachers, discussed comments on papers and put forward requirements for a detailed justification of the points awarded.

It is known that the student completed a pre-graduate internship in oligophrenopedagogy, and was a senior at a school for mentally retarded children.

Evgeny Teplyakov also said that Alice is already applying her knowledge in practice: she consults both children and adults, and charges about 50 thousand rubles for her services. However, the cost of consultations with a girl can be discussed individually. According to Evgeny, there are quite a lot of people who want to come to her for an appointment.

Despite having a higher education diploma, Alice will not be able to work in her profession yet. There are several restrictions related to this: first of all, the girl must reach the official age required for employment, that is, 16 years old. In addition, she may need additional training. However, Alice's father said that the issue of employment in the family is not yet worth it, since there is no need to send a child to work "for bread."

What is known about Alice Teplyakova's family

Alice is not the only child in the family. Besides her, the Teplyakovs have seven other children: four sons and three daughters. Her younger siblings are named Heimdall, Leia, Terra, Ailung, Feilung, Theseus, Suleiman, and Alric Finist Orion.

From early childhood, the girl studied at home under the supervision of Father Eugene. According to the man, he does not use grades in his studies and pays great attention to reading: by the age of three, his children begin to assemble syllables into words, by the age of four they begin to read 30-40 words per minute, by the age of five they begin to read about 100. Classes last several hours a day, Evgeny noted.

Alice is also not the only child in the family who went to university at a young age. In the summer of 2022, her younger brother Heimdall graduated from high school at the age of eight and applied to Synergy University. However, the educational institution refused to accept the documents. The reason for this was the university admission rules — applicants who have reached the age of 14 can enter the university.

In 2024, the third child of the family, Leia, also graduated from school at an early age and planned to enter Moscow State University. Then Evgeny said that his education system was working, while he did not disclose information about his daughter's exact scores for the Unified State Exam (USE).
