Hi! My name is Nika, and I am a math and STEM tutor with over 15 years of academic and professional experience. I hold a Master of Science in Mechanical Engineering, a Bachelor of Science in Engineering Physics, and a Certificate in Data Science. My engineering background gives me a strong foundation in mathematics and allows me to explain not just how formulas work, but why they work and where they come from. I enjoy helping students see math as a logical, learnable subject rather than something to fear or memorize.
I specialize in tutoring a wide range of math subjects, including arithmetic, pre-algebra, Algebra I and II, geometry, trigonometry, pre-calculus, Calculus I and II, and standardized test math for the SAT, ACT, GRE, and GMAT. I have tutored calculus as an undergraduate, worked as a math tutor for Columbia Community College in Maryland, and served as an SAT Math tutor for Princeton Review as well as an SAT and GMAT tutor for Kaplan Test Prep.
I am currently a private tutor for middle school, high school, and college students. Having personally taken the SAT, GRE, and GMAT and performed very well on the quantitative sections, I am able to guide students through both the underlying math concepts and the test-taking strategies needed to succeed.
My tutoring style is adaptive and student focused. Every student learns differently, and my goal is to understand how each student processes information. I adjust my explanations accordingly, whether that means breaking problems down step by step, working through examples together, or focusing on patterns and logic. I emphasize true understanding rather than memorization, and I work patiently to build strong problem-solving skills, confidence, and effective study habits.
Many of my students come to me feeling unsure about math, and over time they gain clarity, confidence, and measurable improvements in grades and test scores.
If you are looking for a knowledgeable, patient, and approachable tutor who explains math clearly, I would be happy to wor
