Nicholas received a BS in Neuroscience (pre-med) from the University of Chicago and studied Japanese literature at Waseda University in Japan. From his experience as a teaching assistant, he believes that building the right foundation is essential for long-term success. He enjoys connecting with students and families and creating a supportive, engaging environment where students feel encouraged to ask questions.

​

Outside of the classroom, Nicholas enjoys traveling and learning about different cultures, and these experiences continue to shape his perspective as an educator and lifelong learner.

​

The Coolest Thing Nicholas has Learned from a Student is:

​

"That there is rarely one “right” way to solve a problem and there are often many ways to understand and approach a concept. This taught him the importance of keeping an open mind, embracing diverse perspectives, and always staying curious in every learning environment."
