About Nick


Bio

Hi, I’m a graduate of the University of Pennsylvania with a degree in Mechanical Engineering, and I love helping students gain confidence in math and physics. I currently work as an engineer at GE Vernova, where I apply problem-solving skills every day — and I bring that same mindset into tutoring. What excites me most is not just solving tough problems, but teaching others how to break them down and approach them with clarity.

Hi, I’m a graduate of the University of Pennsylvania with a degree in Mechanical Engineering, and I love helping students gain confidence in math and physics. I currently work as an engineer at GE Vernova, where I apply problem-solving skills every day — and I bring that same mindset into tutoring. What excites me most is not just solving tough problems, but teaching others how to break them down and approach them with clarity.

Outside of academics, I’m passionate about chess, skiing, and golf — all activities that sharpen focus, strategy, and patience. I use that same approach when working with students: learning is a skill you can practice, refine, and ultimately master. Whether we’re tackling algebra, geometry, calculus, or physics, I focus on building strong foundations, using real-world examples, and encouraging critical thinking so concepts “click” instead of feeling intimidating.

I believe in creating a supportive environment where students feel comfortable asking questions and working at their own pace. My goal isn’t just to help you finish homework or prep for tests (though I’ll gladly do that too), but to help you truly understand the material and build confidence that lasts.

If you’re looking for a tutor who combines technical expertise with patience, encouragement, and a genuine love of teaching, I’d be happy to work with you. Together we’ll make learning both productive and enjoyable, turning challenges into achievements.
