About Nic

Hey everyone,
I have been a tutor for almost seven years now. I am proficient in a ton of areas including, guitar, piano, weightlifting and last but not least, all math from kindergarten to senior year of high school. I have had over ten years experience playing guitar as well as many other instruments. Prior to moving I managed a private tutoring center right outside of Manhattan, N.Y. With over three hundred students and 25+ employees we were the most awarded center in the Northeast.
I pride myself on my ability to pinpoint the root of the problem when it comes to dealing with new students and I strongly believe that without a solid foundation in math, anything after 4th grade math can seem impossible. I take the time to backtrack if necessary, to resolve any issues one might have in the basics, before jumping into the seemingly impossible. Through my experience of being tutored and being a tutor I have the unique ability to see both sides of the equation and try and make learning as painless as possible. I have personally tutored over 250 students in these subjects and have no problem taking the time and explaining all the different ways to solve problems. Believe me, there's always more than one way.
On a musical standpoint I have had the opportunity to preform in many large venues as well as small parties and special occasions. It's very seldom I'm faced with a song or genre that I can't learn or teach. My musical style on guitar is strongly influenced by blues and hard rock. Bands like Aerosmith and Led Zeppelin as well as Guns N' Roses have a big impact on my playing style. I have played guitar for more than half of my life and played in several bands. Starting at a young age and having a teacher who was extremely strict made the first couple years of playing difficult but it made me into a very well rounded guitarist having played nearly every style of guitar.

Weightlifting has always been a passion of mine since about sophomore year in high school after taking a class directed by our ex body building gym teacher. He taught me the right way to lift and wasn't shy in correcting me if I happened to use improper form. This hard-knocks approach has been nothing but a blessing. Not only do you feel better but I know, for me at least, the self-confidence that comes with reaching a goal is without comparison. I have been lifting for about six years now. In that time I was able to add around 60lbs of muscle and increase my max's by a substantial amount. Max bench is 345, max deadlift is 425, max squat 405. Weighing in at just shy of 165lbs.

If you would to set up an appointment please feel free to contact me, I'm at your service.
