Hey!
I'm Nick.
For over 10 years now, I've been a leading test prep guru, AP tutor, and writing coach based in sunny Southern California.
As the author of original The College Lad curriculum and the tutor of choice for students who are committed to hitting 1500+ on SAT or 34+ on ACT, I've tutored on-set with some of America's brightest young on-screen talent and presented on application essays and test strategy to parents and students all over the Los Angeles area.
I also work with a high volume of students on AP exam prep or academic tutoring in history (most commonly Euro or US), other social studies (think AP Human Geography or AP Gov), and math (up through calculus, including stats).
Year in and year out, my students have earned admission to every Ivy League school, Stanford, MIT, Georgetown (my alma mater), Duke, Northwestern, and other top-ranked institutions.
I want to get you there too.
Looking forward to getting started!

Please note: If there's this sentence anywhere on my profile: "Sorry this pro can’t do your job, but we know other pros who can." -- kindly ignore it, and feel free to message me. Thanks so much. ~Leah Witham
I've so often seen that sense of relief cross my students' faces when I can make math within their grasp. It's such a pleasure for me to have the opportunity to pass along my simple understanding of complex material.
It's very gratifying to be told that I'm a good teacher. I always wanted to teach math but got side-tracked into computers for 25 years, because of some testing results, before I took the opportunity to do what I find most rewarding. I've specialized in test prep since 2013, & I'm familiar with test anxiety & its solutions.
I've taught many students how to write. I cover all grammar and essay construction, including APA/MLA citations for papers. My writing has been awarded; I'm currently writing a non-fiction book.

New availability!
I am a private tutor who is qualified in Mathematics/Physics for High School courses and/or Exam Prep. This includes, but is not limited to: NYS Regents Exams, SAT/ACT, AP Exams, FE (Fundamentals in Engineering). Both in-person and virtual services are available. Virtual sessions are done using Google Meets Screen Share tool and a virtual whiteboard so students can see how problems are done in step-by-step instruction. Students are sent pdf copies of the work done. However, students are fully expected to take their own notes as it is the only way to learn physics/math.
I currently work as a Physics teacher at Chaminade High School. I received a Bachelor's Degree in Mechanical Engineering with a concentration in Aerospace from the University of Delaware (Class of 2018). I currently live in Bay Shore but am open to working anywhere in Nassau/Suffolk County or completely virtual.
Unlike other tutors you find, my objective is not only to teach the student the required subject material - but also to teach them the study methods and planning skills required to learn anything. Something that they can use moving forward for years to come. They will be provided with countless practice exams, recorded lectures, and goal-oriented study plans using specific metrics to track progress. The student will have all the necessary tools and support to improve their performance while developing the confidence/ambition to achieve academic success.
Please feel encouraged to reach out with any/all questions. I am happy to provide templates of how the student’s improvement will be monitored along with my credentials.
