About Nicholas

Bio

I am a mathematics Ph.D. and current postdoctoral scholar in Electrical and Computer Engineering at The Ohio State University. My work sits at the intersection of mathematics, physics, and engineering, and I especially enjoy helping students build real understanding rather than just memorize steps. I have also served in the U.S. Navy, including time aboard a nuclear submarine, which shaped the discipline, focus, and calm approach I bring to teaching.

I am a mathematics Ph.D. and current postdoctoral scholar in Electrical and Computer Engineering at The Ohio State University. My work sits at the intersection of mathematics, physics, and engineering, and I especially enjoy helping students build real understanding rather than just memorize steps. I have also served in the U.S. Navy, including time aboard a nuclear submarine, which shaped the discipline, focus, and calm approach I bring to teaching.

I take pride in breaking difficult ideas into simple, manageable pieces without losing the deeper meaning behind them. One of my strengths as a tutor is adapting my explanations to the student in front of me, because different people learn in different ways and often need different entry points into the same problem. Whether a student needs help with fundamentals, problem solving, proofs, or building confidence, I work to meet them where they are and help them move forward.

I genuinely enjoy teaching and find a lot of satisfaction in helping students see that subjects like math and physics can become clear, logical, and even rewarding with the right guidance. Please feel free to reach out with any questions.

Approved Subjects

Electrical Engineering

Electrical Engineering

I hold a Ph.D. in Mathematics, completed a minor in Electrical Engineering, and have spent the past two years working in an Electrical and Computer Engineering department on electromagnetic scattering problems. My background gives me a strong foundation in the mathematics that underlies core electrical engineering topics, including signals, systems, fields, and applied modeling. Through my postdoctoral work, I have developed experience translating advanced theory into practical computational and engineering contexts. I am especially well qualified to help students who want clear, rigorous explanations and support connecting mathematical ideas to real electrical engineering problems.
Mechanical Engineering

Mechanical Engineering

I bring a strong interdisciplinary background to tutoring, with training in mathematics, physics, engineering, and nuclear power systems. I hold a PhD in Mathematics, work as a postdoctoral scholar in an Electrical and Computer Engineering department, and received technical training in nuclear power systems through the U.S. Navy while serving as a submarine officer. My experience with wave mechanics and vibrations, thermodynamics, and fluids allows me to explain difficult material in a clear and practical way. I aim to help students not only get the right answer, but also understand why the answer makes sense.
Quantum Physics

Quantum Physics

I have a Ph.D. in Mathematics and a strong background in physics, including broad study of the core undergraduate quantum physics curriculum. My training has given me a solid grasp of the mathematical structures that underpin quantum mechanics, such as linear algebra, partial differential equations, operators, and spectral theory. I am comfortable teaching standard undergraduate topics including wave functions, observables/operators, the Schrödinger equation, eigenvalue problems and foundational quantum systems. I have gone through most of Griffith's book on quantum mechanics and much of several other books. I am well suited to help students build both conceptual understanding and the mathematical confidence needed to succeed in quantum physics.
Real Analysis

Real Analysis

I have a PhD in mathematics and a strong background in rigorous proof-based courses, including undergraduate and graduate real analysis. My training includes core topics such as sequences and series of functions, continuity, differentiation, Riemann integration, metric spaces, and the precise epsilon-delta arguments that often make this subject challenging for students. I am especially good at helping students slow down, understand definitions at a deep level, and learn how to write clear, correct proofs rather than just memorize techniques. My goal is to help students build both technical skill and real mathematical confidence in analysis.

Knowledgeable and enthusiast instructor

My son's attitude toward trigonometry has completely changed. After just 3 sessions with Nick, my son's has a significantly more optimistic/confident demeanor. He has struggled through honors trig all year, probably due more to his inability to organize the steps than understand the concepts. Under Nick's guidance he has regained his excitement for math. He actually said, "Dad, I can't wait for my next math test." What!! Nick breaks down the information while offering a very positive, enthusiastic and relateable approach. Nick is an intelligent young man with a bright future.
