College/HS Science & Math, Pre-Med, 1st/2nd Year MD, and more!
Hi! My name is Nikki, and I specialize in math and science tutoring. In addition to raising two young girls, tutoring is my full-time gig and what I was always meant to do. I was a third-year medical student until a near-fatal car accident permanently changed my life. Deterred from completing my formal medical training by severe injuries and years of orthopedic reconstruction and chronic pain, I embarked on my current role as a tutor, mentor, and admissions assistant.

Life Saver
Nikki originally started tutoring me in pharmacology where I needed to get 9 points higher on my final than I had on any other grade for the course in order to remain in my physician assistant program (I had scored a 68 and a 69 and needed a 78 on my final). After our first meeting, I asked her to tutor me in all of my subjects. She agreed and we started meeting almost every day. She looked over my materials ahead of time and worked systematically through each subject and then tied it all together for me using diagrams, pictures, and scenarios. She is so patient and would continue working on a subject until I understood it. My grades jumped by over 10 points for every subject, and I ended-up getting an 83 on my final in pharmacology. It was unreal. I honestly felt she should be teaching my courses. She made it where I needed to memorize very little because I understood the information. Nikki has been so supportive of me. She has been more than a tutor. I feel like we're a team. I will continue to use her while I am in school and have already referred a friend to her who is staring the program next year.

CLUTCH for medical students
Nicole is well-versed in personal statement and curriculum vitae writing for ERAS applications. Having gone through the rigors of medical school and associated application work herself, she knows exactly how to best convey the best version of yourself. I highly recommend her without any reservation for fourth year medical students.

Great help to medical students
Nicole is experienced with working on personal statements and reviewing ERAS applications. She is able to retain the message you are trying to convey while condensing and improving the overall flow of the work. Nicole also is very responsive and gets back the work within a day. Highly recommend her for anxious medical students during app season!

Very knowledgeable and diverse subject matter
I would highly recommend Nicole for tutoring. She is helping my daughter with pre-calculus and it has already made a huge difference in her understanding. She also has discussed ACT prep with my daughter. She is very well versed on many of the topics and has a great ability to communicate the information. I would not hesitate to use her for any of our tutoring needs.

Knowledgeable, passionate and experienced tutor.
Words can't describe how grateful I am for all of Nikki's help. Writing personal statements can be very stressful, especially if time is limited. Nikki really helped me to organize my thoughts and establish a strong theme and flow throughout my essay. She really strives to understand the individual story that led you to your chosen field and helps to represent this in the best way possible. I met with many tutors before Nikki and was less than impressed with our meetings. After talking with Nikki I felt extremely content to move forward working with her. I could tell even after my first essay draft that she was not only much more experienced and has spent many years developing the qualities to become an extraordinary tutor, but that she also cares deeply for her students. I could completely trust that she was giving me her honest opinion which made me feel very confident in the outcome of my paper. She is a wonderful communicator, responds quickly to questions and returns drafts in a timely manner. With all of her experience she is a wealth of knowledge, but what I appreciated most about working with Nikki is her genuine passion for helping students succeed.

Amazing tutor
“My fiancé is a dental student, and I found Nicole to help her with her dental school anatomy class. Due to COVID-19, my fiancé had an open book anatomy test covering the abdomen and head and neck. Nicole was able to help her with all of that material! She is amazing and smart and I would recommend her to anybody in medical or dental school who needs help with anatomy
