Nick: Orange County tutor

Certified Tutor

My goal is to create a learning environment that supplements the areas that I feel are missing from traditional schooling. I am currently working towards a degree in Computer Science and Mathematics at Columbia University in New York City. Throughout my studies I have noticed a strong correlation between my academic performance and my interest in a course. I think students become disheartened by certain subjects because they are not intrigued in the classroom. In school, one teaching style attempts to integrate a diverse array of student personalities to one way of thinking. This can become problematic as many students become lost at the extremities. My goal is to cater the subject to the individual so they can be motivated and successful throughout the remainder of their studies.
Inside the classroom my favorite subjects are mathematics and any related quantitative learning. Logical problem solving has always been one of my strengths and I enjoy the fulfillment of finding concrete solutions. I am a strong teacher of mathematics because my understanding goes beyond the classroom since I am truly passionate about the field. Outside of the classroom my hobbies are diverse. I'm on Columbia University's Rugby Football Team and enjoy boxing and playing basketball when I have the time. I believe a well-rounded life is very important to success. I cherish the time I get to socialize with friends or go to concerts. I believe my outgoing nature allows me to create an inviting environment for all of my clients where we can learn together as we learn about one another.
