I am Nick H., an engineer and tutor who is passionate about making knowledge accessible for all. I earned a master’s in biomedical engineering from Northwestern University. I also earned a bachelor’s in electrical engineering from Northern Illinois University with an applied mathematics minor, graduating magna cum laude as a Presidential Scholar on a full tuition award. At Huntington Learning Center I taught ACT and SAT as well as algebra, precalculus, calculus, statistics, chemistry, physics, biology, anatomy, English, and reading. I designed individualized plans and created lessons from real assignments to set students up for success. I tailor pacing and explanations to each student and rebuild confidence with steady, measurable progress.
My STEM background gives me real examples to bring into sessions. I worked at the bench and in the lab, from synthesizing fluorescent nanoparticles with careful pH control to confirming results by reading absorbance data with UV Vis and Beer’s Law. I used microscopy to verify structure and uptake into cancer cells, and I planned and analyzed cell culture dose response studies to understand how variables change results. I helped build an upper limb exoskeleton and led the electrical integration, which lets me point to concrete moments that explain how forces and circuits operate in the real world. I also modeled exponential behavior in a prosthetic vacuum pump and fit curves to compare designs, which keeps my math explanations grounded in how functions and data meet. These experiences help me show why a graph matters, how a model fits data, what you can and cannot conclude from an image, and how to connect classroom ideas to working systems.
I have proven classroom experience at Huntington Learning Center and rigorous training as an engineer. I convert live assignments into targeted lessons and adapt instruction, especially for neurodivergent students and students with disabilities, so you see measurable improvement.
