Great knowledge; committed to student's success!
Jessica, 1 lesson with NicholasNicholas assisted with AP Physics concepts and was available on short notice. It was evident early on that he is an effective teacher/tutor with extensive topic knowledge! He quickly assessed the need and provided suggestions on how to make the best use of the time. He followed up after the session with a message providing an additional resource on the topic. Highly recommend this friendly, knowledgeable resource!
Hi, my name is Nick, and I would love to be you or your child's next tutor!
I am a theoretical physics PhD student and instructor at UC Berkeley. I do research in string theory and nuclear physics, and I am currently an instructor for introductory physics. I specialize in and develop pedagogy for students without strong physics backgrounds. I have tutored hundreds of students across almost all levels and seen first hand the success of my methods for cultivating problem-solving strategies...

Great tutor
Nick is very patient and knows a lot of good strategies for approaching problems and test taking. He is also great at explaining confusing physics topics and using analogies to simplify concepts. He has helped me understand my electricity and magnetism class a lot better. I would definitely recommend him!

Great experience
Nick has helped me learn both Quantum mechanics and Statistical Mechanics. In my time working with Nick he has been very helpful in both learning how to solve the problems and gaining a conceptual understanding of the concepts. Nick has a great ability to break down problems and explain them in simple terms, a key indicator of great teaching and great understanding of the material. Cordial, patient, and thorough, Nick has been a pleasure to work with and I would recommend anyone seeking help with Physics to tutor with Nick.

Excellent tutor
My daughter is in AP Physics 2. Nicholas has been an excellent tutor for our daughter enabling her to better understand certain concepts. Every tutoring session has led to "A's" on her subsequent tests. We would highly recommend Nicholas.

Knowledgable, has great ways of explaining complicated ideas
I worked with Nicholas in between a couple of my tests for physics 2 and each time my test grades improved. An incredible option for those who want to not just learn physics, but understand the big ideas that come with it.

Knowledgeable and gifted teacher
Nicholas blows my mind every single lesson - I leave my lesson with a deeper understanding of physics and a valuable perspective. We go through all the questions I have thoroughly. Thank you so much!

Knows his stuff!
Nick is a great tutor!!! I am currently studying complex analysis as apart of an electrical engineering class which covers a handful of different high-level math concepts. While my teacher left me confused, Nick was awesome at breaking down the material and helping me with practice problems for my upcoming exam. Highly recommend!

Physics/calc tutor
excellent!!! He explained very detailed and easy to understand Also friendly and professional. Def I will contact Nicholas again. Very lucky I was able to come accross him
Nikolas, 1 lesson with Nicholas
Patient, knowledgable and excellent communicator
I am the parent, not the person who took the lesson. Nicholas is a very good communicator and my son has told me that he is very easy to work with. My son feels a lit better about physics and now feels that the issues he was having will soon be a thing of the past. I am sure that nicholas had complete mastery of physic but he strong point is his ability to communicate in a relaxed, confident manner that puts people at ease.

Excellent tutor
Nicholas was really helpful helping me with Calculus. Aside from general help, he gave me problem solving strategies and asked me conceptual questions about the problems to clarify that I fully understood the task at hand. I will certainly call upon him again for his help and insight.
