UChicago Student & Experienced College Prep Tutor

Nick S.

Hi! My name is Nikhil and I am a student at the University of Chicago with an intense passion for tutoring and working with children! I have experience tutoring several subjects and age groups, but specialize in working with middle and high school students.

The majority of my experience lies in a nonprofit I began in 2021 to teach elementary school students Spanish for free; the program has involved and supported roughly 500 students and has been a great passion of mine. I not only teach Spanish, but am well equipped to help students in other school specific subjects like history, geography, and English.

I also have experience with Speech & Debate. In high school, I was the captain of my school's Debate and Model UN teams and competed on the national circuit, reaching the final rounds of the NSDA National Tournament for Extemporaneous Debate and coming in third place at the Peninsula Tournament for Parliamentary Debate. In addition to the formats mentioned, I have also competed in Policy, Public Forum, and Congressional Debate. Currently, I work on the leadership staff of "Debate Camp Canada," a summer camp for elementary and middle school students interested in developing their debate abilities for high school.

Finally, I enjoy helping students with preparation for admissions processes, if it be the SAT/ISEE, essay writing, or interview prep. I have worked with a number of students in NYC and helped them gain entrance into schools such as Collegiate and Trinity.

Thanks so much for taking the time to get to know me!
