About Me

Experience Summary

Hello, I’m Nick. Thank you for your time reading my bio. I offer a 15 minutes online demo session for new students. I love learning and teaching. If you want to make all of your classes go easier, I am here to show you how. I have developed a way to teach you how to learn with more ease. So you spend less time worrying and fighting the assignments and more time enjoying what you’re learning and more free time to do other important things. I have been tutoring since elementary school helping my classmates. I had to observe carefully what works with students as applied within the various subjects, I have successfully taught thousands of students, both in USA and overseas. I am committed to giving my students the best tutoring. I believe there is more than one way to explain math concepts so that if a student doesn't grasp the way it is presented in class, I can find an alternate way of explaining it. Math can be fun! I have studied Computer Science overseas and Applied Math at California State University Northridge (CSUN). In 2013, I was one of the top 100 tutors at Wyzant nationwide. I am available to teach Math, Prealgebra, Algebra 1 & 2, College Algebra, Precalculus, AP calculus AB & BC, Calculus I, II, III, Geometry, Trigonometry, Probability, AP Statistics, Statistics, ACT, SAT, GRE math, physics, AP physics, College general Physics, Differential Equations, Linear Algebra and Chess. Online Tutoring: I usually use Zoom. My tutoring fees: Online: $25-35 per hour. In person: $55 per hour. Availability: I teach everyday from 10 AM till 10 PM Pacific standard time except Saturdays. Payment methods: Paypal, Venmo, credit card, Check, Cash.

Teaching Style

My teaching style is very simple and straight forward. When I work with students, by observing them to solve problems I can tell where they need help. I have tutored more than 1000 students in person and more than 700 students online as of today 02/14/2023 and all have passed with A or B.

My Hobbies

Music, Reading, Playing chess, Traveling.
