Hello, I’m Nick. Thank you for your time reading my bio. I offer a 15 minutes online demo session for new students. I love learning and teaching. If you want to make all of your classes go easier, I am here to show you how. I have developed a way to teach you how to learn with more ease. So you spend less time worrying and fighting the assignments and more time enjoying what you’re learning and more free time to do other important things. I have been tutoring since elementary school helping my classmates. I had to observe carefully what works with students as applied within the various subjects, I have successfully taught thousands of students, both in USA and overseas. I am committed to giving my students the best tutoring. I believe there is more than one way to explain math concepts so that if a student doesn't grasp the way it is presented in class, I can find an alternate way of explaining it. Math can be fun!
I have studied Computer Science overseas and Applied Math at California State University Northridge (CSUN). In 2013, I was one of the top 100 tutors at Wyzant nationwide.
I am available to teach Math, Prealgebra, Algebra 1 & 2, College Algebra, Precalculus, AP calculus AB & BC, Calculus I, II, III, Trigonometry, GRE math, physics, AP physics, College general Physics.

Great tutor! His explanation is easy to understand!

Nick is great. Very patient and makes things easy to understand. He is teaching me Calculus I (Math 150 A & B) at CSUN. I wish he was my teacher at school, I know I would not need a tutor. I am going to see him again as soon as I find out my test schedule.

Susan, 4 lessons with Nick

Teachers who are passionate, prepared for high-level mathematics.

My son hardly says that the wyzant teachers are good, but he said that taking Nick's class was helpful. The class proceeded without wasting a single moment of class time. I hope to receive help in the AP Calculus BC class next time.

Incredible and Marvelous

My son is a high achieving high schooler, but he's doing terribly in Trig this semester. I had high expectations of Nick after reading the great reviews, and he exceeded them! My son only has had one session with Nick so far, and he already feels much better about Trig. Nick not only goes over the problem, but explains everything behind it in a very clear, concise, and organized way. We cannot be happier. We are going to contine working with Nick. Highly recommend him to anyone. Thank you so much for helping my baby!

Excellent and Best

Nick is very patient and understanding. He will work with you. Also ask the question in advance. So he prepare us in advance as well as get right to the subject of need.

Bobby, 3 lessons with Nick

Very patient

I am taking Calculus 2 in college, and I have been struggling but he has been very patience and very clear in his explanation about the equations. He had helped me a lot.

Karen, 4 lessons with Nick

Great tutor!

Nick is a great tutor! He’s very easy to communicate with. He helped my high school understand the concepts of a topic in AP CALCULUS in a simple and organized way. We will definitely reach out to him for future health sessions for her. Thank you!

Charitha, 1 lesson with Nick

Strong tutor

Nick was an excellent at tutor on numerous topics in calculus ab. My high schooler felt he understood all of the topics worked on in a very thorough and well-explained manner. We really appreciate Nick as a tutor.

Eleanor, 1 lesson with Nick

Great teacher

Nick explains everything in ways much easier to understand. He breaks down difficult topics into smaller, more simple parts to make sure you understand each step for every type of problem!

Pharmacy school Biostatistics

Nick was super helpful and knowledgable, he helped me to understand the material, and clarified everything in a simple language. I would absolutely recommend him to whoever that struggling with biostatistics

Rozh, 1 lesson with Nick

Knowledgeable and patient tutor

Nick is very patient and knows his material. He helped me understand formulas I could not understand in class. I have two more sessions booked with him and will use him in the future!
