About Nick

Bio

Hello, my name is Nick! I graduated from Stanford University with a BS in Science, Technology, and Society as well as an MS in Mechanical Engineering. As the son of two educators, I have always valued the chance to share my knowledge with others in ways that help them reach higher levels of understanding.

Hello, my name is Nick! I graduated from Stanford University with a BS in Science, Technology, and Society as well as an MS in Mechanical Engineering. As the son of two educators, I have always valued the chance to share my knowledge with others in ways that help them reach higher levels of understanding.

I started mentoring other students in high school, both as a regular grade-school tutor and teacher at summer enrichment camps, and continued developing these skills as a graduate level Teaching Assistant in the Mechanical Engineering department while at Stanford. I have experience working with all age groups from elementary school through adult learners prepping for the GRE. My expertise spans multiple levels of Math, Science, History, and English. I am also highly experienced with standardized tests, having helped dozens of students raise their scores on the ACT, SAT, and GRE, all of which I scored in the top 2% nationally.

I'm an observant communicator who knows how to change my approach when things aren't working. My goal is to help students reach understanding of material, not just knowledge, so I never let fake "OK's" go unaddressed.

I am very flexible when it comes to times and/or locations. I am easy to reach and quick to respond. Please feel free to contact me with any questions you may have or to schedule a session!

2021 Update: I am also fully vaccinated and open to in-person sessions as final exams and college test-prep deadlines approach!

Drums

Though I got my first snare drum at 4 years old, my real dedicated experience started in middle school. I've been drumming since then for the past 14 years, performing in multiple bands and musical ensembles on both drum set and marching snare. I was leader of my college drumline, a position that required weekly teaching of parts to section members.

As the son of two molecular biology PhDs, science has always been a familiar and comfortable subject for me.

Excellent

Nick has worked with my daughter a few times now and he is the best tutor she has had. He is knowledgeable but also down to earth with working with a 16 year old. I HIGHLY recommend him!
