About Nicky
Science education has been at the heart of my and career. I hold a bachelor's degree in Biology and Environmental Studies from Amherst College. In September 2021, I graduated with a master's degree in Biological and Environmental Sciences and a certificate in Science Writing and Rhetoric at the University of Rhode Island. From research cruises and excursions in salt marshes, to leading programs at a marine education center, and engaging in collaborative projects domestically and internationally, I communicate with diverse audiences on scientific issues. I have 3 years of experience tutoring K-12 students in subjects from Geology to English, and I currently tutor a 3rd grader and 5th grader via Zoom on a near-daily basis, in addition to offering an array of remote editing services to students from 6th grade to the undergraduate level. My past work as a teaching assistant at the University of Rhode Island and a mentor at various science organizations has given me additional experience crafting lesson plans and connecting with kids and young adults. At my current position, I engage in scientific outreach, education, and research at a local non-profit to provide better pathways for food security in the New England region. You can be assured knowing that science communication is a skill developed over many years.

My teaching style molds to the individual student's needs, strengths, and weaknesses. In general, I believe that writing about science is the key to understanding it. As such, my lessons are writing and discussion-based. I often use visual aids such as infographics and animations to enable conceptual understanding of the topics. I follow a systems-based teaching design by introducing multiple concepts to encourage analytical thinking. Science today is embedded in the ways we live like never before; it is important to give students the opportunity to think about how a particular concept could relate to their everyday life. In my past teaching experiences, I have found this strategy to be best for memory retention and student interest.

Nicky is my sister and I have sat in on her tutoring lessons that she gives. She is extremely patient with her lessons. Nicky caters her teaching style to her client's best needs. She doesn't stop teaching until she knows you fully understand the concept. She has such a positive attitude and never gets frustrated. As her sister, she has taught me an immense amount of English tips and has improved my writing greatly. She has an impressive educational background and knows exactly how to apply her knowledge to her tutoring. I would 100% recommend Nicky for any tutoring opportunity!
Nicky has been tutoring my daughter for almost a year. She is a queen in my daughter's eyes. She has very extensive background in English and a positive attitude and engaging personality. My daughter gets frustrated easily when she meets challenges, Nicky has the ability to inspire her to explore her potential and gifts and never give up on her. Her patience to my daughter truly impressed me. I am confident that she will continue her positive influence on many students to come.
