About
Hello! I'm Nick. I was born and raised in southern Louisiana and am a science and technology professional with my own innovation and consulting firm.
I pursued a triple bachelor's degree in Physics, ... Chemistry, and Electrical Engineering at the University of Louisiana at Lafayette for my undergraduate studies from 2011 to 2015 and attended the special Multidisciplinary Science program at Rensselaer Polytechnic institute from 2015 to 2018, when I earned my Master's degree.
I currently tutor all manner of math and science courses online for various platforms, and have additional formal classroom teaching experience from my time as a graduate student. I currently offer lessons in: Geometry, Algebra 2, Trigonometry, College Algebra, AP Calculus AB & BC, AP Physics, AP Chemistry, Organic Chemistry, Inorganic Chemistry, Physical Chemistry, and Electrical Engineering.
My goal as a tutor is not only to help students achieve understanding in STEM subjects, but to give these students a better appreciation for, and ideally, an interest in, these subjects. I believe that every student is capable of truly understanding science and mathematics, given the proper support and time.
In my experience, each student's mind has a tendency to latch onto different explanations for the same concept, and due to the time restrictions placed on formal classroom education, it simply isn't possible for teachers to provide enough variance in their examples to help every student have that "eureka!" moment and understand the subject matter. That's where tutoring comes in. Tutoring provides the opportunity for subject experts to spend time with students who may not resonate with the explanations given in their formal classes, providing the time to find that one explanation that 'clicks' with a student's individual thought pattern.read more
