Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
The typical process is, as follows: Session 1: A Solid Foundation For Success Take a Proprietary Learning Styles & Interests Questionnaire. Relating subject matter to each student’s interests results in greater engagement throughout the learning process. "Nick’s Comprehensive Guide for Easy Points." Reviewing and memorizing these time-tested strategies empowers students to quickly and easily boost their scores. Homework Diagnostic. Before the first session concludes, students will be assigned an abbreviated diagnostic exam under time constraints, relaxation technique practice, and will need to obtain a silent watch and workbook. Subsequent Sessions: Growing A Stellar Score...and Chance of Admission Diagnostic Review. Students will review the results of the diagnostic exam with Nick. Together, they will then draft an individualized lesson plan with specific goals that address the areas in which improvement is needed. Ongoing Practice & Feedback. Homework in the form of practice exams and other assignments will be assigned regularly. These assignments are accompanied by progress reports and student feedback surveys. I look forward to working with you. Together, we will achieve your goals so you can gain admission to the college of your dreams!

How did you get started teaching?
I started tutoring in college when I noticed students were struggling to ace their subject matter, standardized tests, and college applications. I continued this momentum throughout my graduate classes in education at Harvard University. That's when I started applying my knowledge to help students become the best candidates possible.

Describe a recent event you are fond of.
A recent event I am fond of was helping a client prepare for her SAT under a tight deadline. Within a span of two weeks, I helped identify her areas of weakness and provided strategies that quickly helped address her learning gaps. As a result of daily, intensive tutoring, her score improved by over 120 points!
What advice would you give a student looking to hire a teacher in your area of expertise?
If customers are looking to hire a provider in the area of college and SAT/ACT preparation, they should ask what certificates and formal work experience they have. I am honored to be a certified Princeton Review standardized test instructor and have served as a Georgetown University Alumni Admissions Officer. I frequently draw upon this work experience throughout my sessions with clients.
