Elite math
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.
Wherever your student is on the sequence, I've taught the road ahead — and I know exactly where it breaks.
Fractions, ratios, negative numbers — the foundation everything else stands on.
fractions bite hereVariables, linear equations, systems — the first truly abstract math.
letters replace numbersProofs, logic, spatial reasoning — a different way of thinking entirely.
Functions, polynomials, logs — where earlier gaps in understanding become most pronounced.
where many get lostTrig, sequences, limits preview — the bridge year that decides calculus.
AB and BC — limits, derivatives, integrals, and the exam in May.
limits feel abstract — until they don't"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.
Every method gets broken down to the simplest true idea underneath it, then rebuilt. Students who understand the why stop fearing the how.
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.
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.

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.
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.
Both. Most families call in rescue mode — a grade that slipped, a test that went badly.
Weekly sessions stabilize the current class first, then shift to building ahead of the syllabus so the next unit starts from strength instead of catch-up.
Yes — that phrase almost always means one concept, a few chapters back, never actually clicked.
Everything since got memorized on top of a gap. First-principles teaching finds the gap and rebuilds it — and the "not a math person" story tends to go away with the first strong test.
One-on-one at your home, anywhere from Studio City to Santa Monica — or online. Evening slots run until 9 PM.
Sessions blend current homework with concept rebuilding, and you get a written note from me after every session.
