About Me

I am an MS graduate at the University of South Florida, in the field of ecology and Evolution, with my bachelors from the University of Florida in general biology with a chemistry minor. I chose the latter; though the pay is less, I find too much joy in both research and teaching to not pursue those as a career at the highest level. Throughout my life, I have found that I am very skilled at teaching both my colleagues and those younger than me. Around my middle school years, I found I have a knack for explaining abstract and difficult-to-understand topics. At which point, I began tutoring on a volunteer basis which later developed into a private tutoring business. I normally teach college courses as a Teaching Assistant at the University of South Florida Tampa campus, while I further my work on my dissertation (centered on genetics).I am comfortable with teaching mathematics through Calculus I (or whatever the equivalent.) I am extremely competent with statistics, as it comprises an integral part of both my TA work and research. I also excel in all areas of academic writing. I am most suited to test prep tutoring sessions: I have invariably excelled at all standardized tests. I am also familiar with ACT and SAT formats, and the particular and differing strategies that maximize the likelihood of high scores for each.

Q&A with Nicholas

Every individual has a different optimal method of learning. Some people prefer information presented visually, some are auditory learners, etc. The trick to teaching anybody is finding the way to phrase or present something in a way that "clicks." I've always had a knack for that: those moments when the lightbulb finally snaps on.
