Bio

I love learning, but I love sharing that knowledge even more. My journey started in 2012 as a community college tutor, an experience that taught me just how hectic a student's schedule can be. I understand the struggle to find study time, which is why I make it a point to offer flexible scheduling that fits your life.

I love learning, but I love sharing that knowledge even more. My journey started in 2012 as a community college tutor, an experience that taught me just how hectic a student's schedule can be. I understand the struggle to find study time, which is why I make it a point to offer flexible scheduling that fits your life.

I hold an Associate’s Degree in Liberal Arts and Sciences (2013) and an Associate’s Degree in Mathematics (2015) from Sinclair College, as well as a Bachelor’s Degree in Mathematics with an Education Concentration from Wright State University (2018).

Because every student processes information differently, I adapt my approach to the individual. I focus heavily on visual learning by bringing the traditional classroom experience online. Using a digital interactive whiteboard during our Zoom sessions, I break down complex concepts into bite-sized "mini-lectures" where we can actively work through problems together. I check in frequently to ensure we are moving at the perfect pace. Communication is easy and low-stress—texting is my preferred way to stay in touch, but I'm always happy to use whatever platform works best for you.

I have been successful in helping students understand the various theorems of triangle congruence, such as Side-Angle-Side and Hypotenuse-Leg theorems. I especially enjoy teaching ways to prove congruence in general, such as line segments, angles, and triangles. I can also make it easy to understand how to bisect angles and line segments, as well as demonstrating tessellations.
Prealgebra

Prealgebra

Pre algebra coursework prepares you to face problems with variables and helped you to understand why solving for x is useful. I have helped many students with the order of operations and how to remember them. I can also help identify what is useful in a word problem and how to use the information to isolate a variable.
Precalculus

Precalculus

I have tutored in a math lab where many students come with precalculus questions, such as determining shifts of a graph, finding zeros of polynomials, and applications of trigonometric functions. I've tutored many students online in this subject as well. I have been able to help these students by providing simple answers to difficult questions that are easy to both understand and apply.
Proofreading

Knowledgeable and patient tutor

Nik started off with helping my son with AP calculus and jumped in to help him practice for SAT when I requested him last minute. He is very accommodative and responds immediately to session requests and infact gives personal attention by reaching out to see if my son needs extra help. He is very encouraging and patient and that has definitely boosted my son’s confidence many times. He currently tutors my son AP statistics, making him stay on top of his class work. Happy to be working with Nik for math tutoring needs.

Great tutor!

Nikolas explained concepts clearly and patiently, breaking down problems step by step in a way that actually made the material make sense. Whenever I was confused, he took the time to re-explain things using different examples until I felt confident. He was also really encouraging, which helped reduce a lot of my stress around math. I would highly recommend him to anyone who needs extra support in math!
