About Nicolas


Bio

I'm an incoming Physics and Computer Science student at Stanford (Class of 2029) with a strong foundation in math across all levels, from algebra and precalculus through AP Calculus, statistics, and linear algebra. I've consistently placed at the top of my classes in quantitative subjects and use math daily in my research work, including published coral reef biology studies that relied on statistical analysis and image processing.

I'm an incoming Physics and Computer Science student at Stanford (Class of 2029) with a strong foundation in math across all levels, from algebra and precalculus through AP Calculus, statistics, and linear algebra. I've consistently placed at the top of my classes in quantitative subjects and use math daily in my research work, including published coral reef biology studies that relied on statistical analysis and image processing.
I believe math clicks when it's connected to real intuition, not just memorized procedures. My teaching style focuses on building that intuition first, then reinforcing it with structured practice. I'm patient, organized, and adapt quickly to where a student is struggling. Whether you're preparing for a standardized test, keeping up with a tough class, or trying to genuinely understand the "why" behind the math, I can help.
Beyond academics, I've spent years doing technical work that requires precise quantitative thinking: coral reef field research in Palau and Zanzibar, open-source software development, and competitive athletics. I bring that same discipline and attention to detail to tutoring.

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.
