About Nicolas


Bio

I am an incoming Computer Science student at Stanford University, having also been admitted to Carnegie Mellon and UC Berkeley. I graduated with a 4.0 GPA and a 1550 SAT (800 Math), earning AP scores of 5 in both Calculus AB and BC. My advanced coursework includes Algorithm Design, Machine Learning, Differential Equations, Discrete Mathematics, Advanced Physics, and Statistics & Data Science, giving me a strong foundation across all the subjects I tutor.

I am an incoming Computer Science student at Stanford University, having also been admitted to Carnegie Mellon and UC Berkeley. I graduated with a 4.0 GPA and a 1550 SAT (800 Math), earning AP scores of 5 in both Calculus AB and BC. My advanced coursework includes Algorithm Design, Machine Learning, Differential Equations, Discrete Mathematics, Advanced Physics, and Statistics & Data Science, giving me a strong foundation across all the subjects I tutor.
Over the past two years I have tutored peers informally at my high school in AP Calculus AB and BC, AP Computer Science, AP Physics, and Advanced Statistics. These sessions were one-on-one and small group, and I focused on building genuine conceptual understanding rather than test-taking shortcuts, walking students through the reasoning behind problems before drilling mechanics. In parallel, through the Music for Good initiative, I taught piano to younger children, which sharpened my ability to adapt explanations to different ages and learning styles.
Beyond academics, I bring real-world context to the subjects I teach. I conducted research at the Palau International Coral Reef Center, where I applied R statistical analysis and Python data pipelines to an active coral biology study, co-authoring a paper submitted to the journal Coral Reefs and contributing to a presentation accepted at the International Coral Reef Symposium 2026. I find that grounding abstract concepts in real applications, whether showing a calc student how derivatives model real phenomena, or explaining how statistics drives actual research, makes material click faster and stick longer.

Approved Subjects

Algebra 2

Algebra 2

Currently pursuing an Engineering degree, with a strong foundation in advanced mathematics through calculus and beyond Have tutored fellow students in Algebra 2 for 3 years, helping them build confidence and work through challenging material at a pace that works for them Deeply familiar with the Algebra 2 curriculum — including functions, polynomials, logarithms, complex numbers, and conic sections — and how those concepts feed directly into PreCalculus Comfortable breaking down abstract concepts into clear, approachable steps for students who learn best one-on-one
Calculus

Calculus

I've taken Calculus AB and BC courses and passed both AP exams with a score of 5. I've been tutoring Calculus at my school for 2 years. I have been told that I present intuitive explanations, and that I greatly help with forming deeper conceptual understandings of the material.
Precalculus

Precalculus

I've taken Calculus AB and BC courses and passed both AP exams with a score of 5. I've been tutoring Calculus and Precalculus at my school for 2 years. I have been told that I present intuitive explanations, and that I greatly help with forming deeper conceptual understandings of the material.
Python

Python

Strong Python experience with real-world projects (APIs, computer vision, data analysis) AP CS score of 5 Built end-to-end applications, including a plant identification system using camera input and external APIs Solid grasp of core concepts: variables, loops, functions, conditionals, and debugging Experience explaining technical concepts clearly and adapting to different learning levels STEM background with hands-on engineering and research experience (robotics, data analysis) Able to quickly prepare students for exams through targeted review and practice problems Focus on helping students understand how to think through problems, not just memorize code
SAT Math

SAT Math

I scored an 800 on the SAT Math section and a 5 on both AP Calculus AB and BC. My advanced coursework spans Differential Equations, Discrete Mathematics, Algorithm Design, and Statistics, giving me deep fluency in the math concepts that appear across all sections of the SAT. I have tutored peers one-on-one in math at the high school level, focusing on building number sense and problem-solving instincts rather than relying purely on memorized strategies. I know exactly where students lose points on the SAT Math section and tailor sessions around closing those specific gaps efficiently.
