"Hello! My name is Nicholas, however most of my students call me Mr. Leo. As a Varying Exceptionalities (VE) teacher and math tutor with over three years of experience, I specialize in making math enjoyable and easy to grasp for learners of all levels. I've helped students in various math subjects, including Pre-algebra, Algebra I, Geometry, Algebra II, Precalculus, and Calculus. My passion for teaching math was first ignited when I helped a family friend improve her FSA math score from Level 1 to Level 4 in a matter of months. I firmly believe that true success in math comes from understanding the 'why' behind the steps, not just memorizing them. I'm committed to helping my students grasp the fundamental concepts that underlie math problems.

I graduated from the University of South Florida with a Bachelor's Degree in Environmental Science and Policy, however my passion for teaching math led me to pursue a career in education. I believe that my interdisciplinary background enriches my teaching approach, as it allows me to relate mathematical concepts to real-world applications. I believe that understanding why we use certain math steps is crucial for success, and I strive to personalize my teaching to cater to each student's unique learning style. My approach involves breaking down complex topics into manageable components, fostering a supportive learning environment where questions are encouraged, and building confidence.

Whether you're struggling with algebraic equations, studying for a geometry test, or simply need a refresher, I'm here to assist you every step of the way. I'm excited to work with you or your child to achieve your academic goals. Don't hesitate to contact me anytime, and together, we can turn math problems into solutions!" less...
