Welcome! 🎉 I’m thrilled to be your guide on this academic adventure! With nearly three decades of service, education, and professional development under my belt (and a few gray hairs), I’m here to share the insights I’ve picked up along the way. My mission? To help you succeed while keeping things light and enjoyable!

As a retired Military Intelligence Officer with over a decade in local and federal law enforcement, I bring a treasure trove of knowledge to our sessions. I hold a Bachelor's in Criminal Justice, a Master’s in Military Art and Science, and a Master’s in Intelligence Studies. I’m also a certified Lean Six Sigma Black Belt—so I know a thing or two about solving problems and streamlining processes (and I promise my teaching style won’t feel like boot camp!).

I specialize in a wide range of subjects, including Criminal Justice, Law, Philosophy, Geography, and Political Science. Whether you’re tackling the ACT, SAT, GRE, GMAT, or GED, or you’re gearing up for the ASVAB, ASTB, or AFOQT to jumpstart your military career, I’ve got your back! Think of me as your academic sidekick, ready to tackle challenges and make learning fun.

Having traveled across the U.S. and to places like Europe, Africa, Asia, and the Middle East, I bring a global perspective that adds flavor to our discussions. I love sharing stories that go beyond the textbook, because who says learning can’t be entertaining?

When I’m not tutoring, you can find me deep in a book about history or leadership, or catching up on the latest current events. I’m passionate about lifelong learning and empowering you to think critically and make informed decisions.

Thank you for considering me as your tutor! I can’t wait to embark on this educational journey together—let’s make it memorable and maybe even a little bit fun!

Great teacher!

Nick has covered basic geometry, ratios, and percentages as I gear up to ratio the AFOQT. He breaks things down into understandable sections and works at a pace depending on your grasp of the topic. Highly recommend Nick!

Friendly and knowledgeable tutor

Nick helped my 14 year old son prepare for a science test. My son went into the lesson timid about the topics being covered, and when the lesson was over he burst into the room to tell me how confident he felt about the material. Nick was able to identify what he needed help on, and he presented the material in an effective manner that he could understand. We can't wait to use Nick again!
