Nicolaas: Edmonton tutor

Certified Tutor

Helping high school students reach their full potential, especially as they prepare for college is at the heart of everything I do. With a strong foundation in Economics, Business, Finance, History, Reading, and Analytical Writing, I bring both subject-matter expertise and a proven track record of success in guiding students through AP, IB, and college entrance exam preparation.

I know how competitive and overwhelming the college admissions process can be. That's why I don't just tutor, I mentor. Whether I'm helping a student break down complex economic theory, develop a powerful analytical essay, or tackle the SAT and ACT with confidence, my goal is always the same: to provide clear instruction, targeted strategies, and genuine encouragement that leads to real results.

My approach is tailored, strategic, and student-focused. I take the time to understand each student's goals, learning style, and challenges, and then craft a plan that turns stress into structure and uncertainty into achievement. I believe in teaching students how to think, not just what to think giving them the tools to succeed not just on the next exam, but in college and beyond.

Parents and students choose to work with me because I deliver more than academic improvement, I help students build the confidence, discipline, and mindset they need to thrive in high school and enter college fully prepared to succeed.

Let's make this critical stage of your academic journey a turning point toward long-term success.
