Elite math

Math tutoring that starts with the basics — from arithmetic to vector calculus.

One-on-one math tutoring with me, Nico, at your home or online. I teach from first principles by breaking every problem down to the simplest concept underneath it — so students stop memorizing steps and start problem solving on their own. That's when grades improve, and stay improved. From basic arithmetic and pre-algebra to vector calculus, the goal is the same: math that feels like a second language.

The whole track, one tutor

Wherever your student is on the sequence, I've taught the road ahead — and I know exactly where it breaks.

Pre-Algebra

Fractions, ratios, negative numbers — the foundation everything else stands on.

fractions bite here

Algebra I

Variables, linear equations, systems — the first truly abstract math.

letters replace numbers

Geometry

Proofs, logic, spatial reasoning — a different way of thinking entirely.

Algebra II

Functions, polynomials, logs — where earlier gaps in understanding become most pronounced.

where many get lost

Precalculus

Trig, sequences, limits preview — the bridge year that decides calculus.

AP Calculus

AB and BC — limits, derivatives, integrals, and the exam in May.

limits feel abstract — until they don't

How I teach math

"I'm just not a math person" almost always means one concept, a few chapters back, never actually clicked — and everything since was missing key pieces. My job is to find the gaps, get rid of them, and make the rest make sense.

First principles

Every method gets broken down to the simplest true idea underneath it, then rebuilt. Students who understand the why stop fearing the how.

Practice that compounds

We don't move on until your student can teach the idea back to me. Understanding you can explain is understanding that survives test day.

It all adds up — visibly

A standing weekly slot, sessions synced to the school calendar, and a written note to you after every single one. You always know where things stand.

Every level, every track

tap what you need help with ↓

Arithmetic & foundations Pre-Algebra Algebra I & II Geometry Precalculus & Trig AP Calculus AB & BC Vector Calculus & college math Statistics (incl. AP) Honors & accelerated tracks

I know the math sequences at the LA independent schools — including Harvard-Westlake and the other schools I work with — so no session gets spent explaining the syllabus to me.

Math questions parents ask

Pre-algebra through AP Calculus AB and BC — including algebra I and II, geometry, precalculus and trigonometry, plus honors and accelerated independent-school tracks.

Statistics is covered too, at regular and AP level. Whatever the track, it's the same tutor from the first session to the last.
