About Nikolas

Bio

I love to learn, and I love to teach even more. I became a tutor at a community college in 2012. Working at a community college, I understand that many students struggle to make time for studying. With this in mind, I am flexible with scheduling.

I graduated from Sinclair College with an Associate's Degree of Liberal Arts and Sciences in 2013 and I have also received an Associate's Degree of Mathematics in 2015. I received a Bachelor's Degree of Mathematics with an Education...

I love to learn, and I love to teach even more. I became a tutor at a community college in 2012. Working at a community college, I understand that many students struggle to make time for studying. With this in mind, I am flexible with scheduling.

I graduated from Sinclair College with an Associate's Degree of Liberal Arts and Sciences in 2013 and I have also received an Associate's Degree of Mathematics in 2015. I received a Bachelor's Degree of Mathematics with an Education Concentration at Wright State University in 2018.

My methods of tutoring vary based on the needs of the student. My preferred method is to give "mini-lectures" using a whiteboard to illustrate examples, checking in with the student along the way to gauge their understanding of the material. In my experience, I have found that many students are visual learners, so I find this method to be helpful.

I welcome texting as a primary method of communication with my students, but they are also free to use other communication methods.

Approved Subjects

Accuplacer

Accuplacer

I am very familiar with the Accuplacer test and the material that it covers. I have several years experience tutoring students in a lab setting who were preparing to take a math placement test. I also held group and individual sessions specifically for math placement. We used study guides as well as online resources to ensure that we covered every topic necessary to be ready for the test.
ACT Math

ACT Math

Since 2013, I have helped many students prepare for standardized math testing. We have met in small classes, in groups, and in a one on one meeting. The type of math that shows up in the ACT is my specialty, and my students and I have worked together to ensure their success with the test.
Algebra 1

Algebra 1

This is my favorite subject to tutor. I have helped many students to understand how to define a function. I have also helped students learn how to simplify rational expressions with exponents of different signs. I can also help students solve inequalities as well as absolute functions.
Algebra 2

Algebra 2

I completed the Math Education Program at Wright State University. I have tutored many students in math, specializing in algebra. I like to show students why conjugates are useful, tricks to factor polynomials, and how to demystify algebraic word problems.
Calculus

Calculus

I have helped many students with integration, arc length, and other topics found in calculus. I am especially helpful with optimizing area/volume functions. I am also familiar with business calculus.
Finite Math

Finite Math

I've obtained a Bachelor's Degree of Math Education. Finite math covers a wide variety of mathematical concepts including, but not limited to, algebra, business, and other real-world applications. I can explain how do reduce matrices to upper echelon form as well as develop and solve systems of equations for a real world application. In addition, I can also help you understand business functions involving compound interest and continuous interest.
GED

GED

I have served two teacher candidacies and I have helped many students study for the GED. I am familiar with the material and I know what questions to expect on the test.
Geometry

Geometry

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 have been able to help these students by providing simple answers to difficult questions that are easy to both understand and apply.
Proofreading

Proofreading

I wrote many papers as a college student, and I had one professor go so far as to say that I should take up a profession that involves writing. I have helped many students proofread, and have many tips that can help students get the best grade possible.
SAT Math

SAT Math

I am familiar with all math at the high school level and have been tutoring SAT math since 2014. I have also proctored SAT testing and have led SAT practice sessions in the classroom.
Statistics

Statistics

The math involved in statistics is mostly beginning and intermediate algebra, but the concepts themselves can be difficult to grasp. One of the most important ideas to understand in a statistics problem is that the numerical "answer" is only half of the solution. The interpretation of that result is just as important. I have tutored students taking various statistics courses since 2013. During that time, I have developed easy ways to learn the empirical formula, confidence interval estimates, and other common topics found in a statistics class.
TEAS

TEAS

I have helped students prepare for the TEAS test as well as the individual subjects this test involves.
Trigonometry

Trigonometry

I have tutored trigonometry for several years, and I can show students tricks for proving trigonometric equations as well as remembering how to graph trigonometric functions.

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 is a great math tutor! My son is preparing to take the accuplacer test. Nikolas went over math problems that he was struggling with understanding. Loved that he used a white board for his teaching. My son felt like he was taking a math class. Looking forward to more tutoring sessions.

Christina, 13 lessons with Nikolas

Great!

We are Very happy and so is my student! We will be scheduling again! Instruction was very clear and helpful.

Jennifer, 11 lessons with Nikolas

great tutor with easy to understand, hands-on explanations

Nik has been a tremendous help to me! He's really helped me grasp a better understanding of my calculus class, and 2 days of tutoring got me a 91% A on my first test! I'd highly recommend him.

Great tutor!

Nikolas was a great tutor and teacher. He was patient and explained concepts clearly. He dedicated time to really making sure I understood the concepts and provided step by step ways to tackle eve the hardest problems. His help was very much appreciated.

Nick, 12 lessons with Nikolas

Great tutor !

My son was in his first year of college and struggling with his math class. Nik was only his tutor for about 2 months I think, but helped him understand the material and my son didn’t feel so lost. We will definitely keep him as a contact for the future!! Thank you Nik !

Great Teacher

very patient, makes you think for yourself instead of just putting the answers out there. Problems become very clear after working with him.

theo, 2 lessons with Nikolas

Great start!

Nik is helping my kid feel like it's possible to get caught up in math even with the learning gaps. He is looking forward to continuing to work with Nik. They worked on what is currently going on in his math class in addition to looking back at the some of the building blocks that he's less clear on.
