Bio

I love to learn, and I love to teach even more. I became a tutor at a community college in 2012. Working at a community college, I understand that many students struggle to make time for studying. With this in mind, I am very flexible with scheduling.

I graduated from Sinclair College with an Associate's Degree of Liberal Arts and Sciences in 2013 and I have also received an Associate's Degree of Mathematics in 2015. I received a Bachelor's Degree of Mathematics with an Education...

I love to learn, and I love to teach even more. I became a tutor at a community college in 2012. Working at a community college, I understand that many students struggle to make time for studying. With this in mind, I am very flexible with scheduling.

I graduated from Sinclair College with an Associate's Degree of Liberal Arts and Sciences in 2013 and I have also received an Associate's Degree of Mathematics in 2015. I received a Bachelor's Degree of Mathematics with an Education Concentration at Wright State University in 2018.

My methods of tutoring vary based on the needs of the student. My preferred method is to give "mini-lectures" using a whiteboard to illustrate examples, checking in with the student along the way to gauge their understanding of the material. In my experience, I have found that many students are visual learners, so I find this method to be very helpful.

I welcome texting as a primary method of communication with my students, but they are also free to use other communication methods.

Nik is an awesome tutor!

Nik was very patient with me being an older student that is out of practice. I appreciated his sense of humor during the lesson and the fact that he is very easy to understand. I learned so much and he made sure that I understood what he was teaching. I’m really looking forward to working with him in the future. He tutored me for my business calculus class.

Stephanie, 1 lesson with Nikolas

Great Teacher

very patient, makes you think for yourself instead of just putting the answers out there. Problems become very clear after working with him.

Aharon , 2 lessons with Nikolas

Great start!

Nik is helping my kid feel like it's possible to get caught up in math even with the learning gaps. He is looking forward to continuing to work with Nik. They worked on what is currently going on in his math class in addition to looking back at the some of the building blocks that he's less clear on.

Margaret, 1 lesson with Nikolas

Excellent tutor and teacher

Nik is very knowledgeable and professional. He teaches so that the student understands. I highly recommend him. He is patient and is a great teacher.

Suma , 8 lessons with Nikolas

Knowledgeable and patient teacher

We are parent of student 12 grader taking Calculus BC. We really appreciate Nik helping our child understand the concept and improve her grade. Mr. Nik method of using white board is the best approach in teaching math. Mr. Nik is very patient in teaching and open in discussing with student.

Anna, 5 lessons with Nikolas

Clear explanations, knowledgeable and patient

Precalculus Nik uses different strategies to provide a clear understanding on the topic. He is patient and makes sure I understand before moving on. I like Nik’s approach as a Precal tutor.

Eunice, 5 lessons with Nikolas

Great Tutor

Very helpful and easy to understand. Nik was available on the same day requested and spent an hour going over AP Precalculus homework. Would book him again for my high schooler.

Anne, 5 lessons with Nikolas

College Algebra Tutor

I was really struggling with the topic of transformations. I like the way he broke everything down. He was very patient and polite. He taught me about each part of transformations and he also helped me with my homework.

Kirbi, 9 lessons with Nikolas

Patient, organized, and explains things so that the kids get it.

We used 2 tutors before Nik, and they were good, but after her lesson with Nik, she came running to me and said-"I GET IT, I FREAKING GET IT!" Nik is the only tutor now.

Vicki, 10 lessons with Nikolas

Knowledgeable and quick

Nik is very knowledgeable and quick. Son needed help with Electrical OMS. Right at the start he caught errors on the online schooling lesson. He gets right to the point of the problem. Great guy. Takes the time to explain. Highly recommend.
