About Nicholas


Bio

Hello! I’m Nicholas, a Computer Science student at NYU’s College of Arts and Science. Math has always been my strongest subject. I scored a 790 on the SAT Math section and earned 5s on the AP Precalculus, AP Physics 1, and AP Computer Science A, AP Calculus AB, and AP Statistics while maintaining a 4.0+ GPA over all 4 years. I remember what it felt like to be stuck on a problem, and I also remember exactly which explanations finally made it click. That is what I bring to every...

Hello! I’m Nicholas, a Computer Science student at NYU’s College of Arts and Science. Math has always been my strongest subject. I scored a 790 on the SAT Math section and earned 5s on the AP Precalculus, AP Physics 1, and AP Computer Science A, AP Calculus AB, and AP Statistics while maintaining a 4.0+ GPA over all 4 years. I remember what it felt like to be stuck on a problem, and I also remember exactly which explanations finally made it click. That is what I bring to every lesson.

During my Junior and Senior years in high school, I worked as an instructor at Code Ninjas, teaching students ages 5 to 14 year-round. Coding is applied math, so my days are spent breaking logic, variables, and problem solving into small steps my students could follow. I have also tutored high school students one-on-one in AP Computer Science A through UPchieve, and I volunteered with my school’s science department to tutor science classes.

My approach is simple: figure out exactly where a student gets lost, fix that root misunderstanding, and then build confidence through practice until they can solve difficult problems on their own. I don’t just show the steps; I explain why they work, so students can handle questions they have never seen before. For SAT students, I also share the strategies and time-saving tricks that helped me reach a near-perfect math score. Whether you are catching up in Algebra, preparing for a Precalculus test, or aiming for a top SAT score, I will meet you where you are and help you get where you want to be. I’d love to help you reach your goals!

Algebra 1

I’m currently a student at NYU and scored a 790 on the SAT Math section, so I have a strong command of every Algebra 1 topic, from linear equations and inequalities to systems, exponents, factoring, and quadratics. I took Algebra 1 in 8th grade and earned an A, so I remember what it’s like to learn this material for the first time and where students usually get stuck. In my sessions, I focus on real understanding rather than memorized steps: I break problems into small pieces and check in often so students can learn to solve similar problems on their own.
