"Hi! I’m Nick. I received my Master’s in Urban and Regional Planning in June 2018 from the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) and my Bachelor’s in Structural Engineering from UC San Diego in 2016.

For the last few years, I have worked as a transportation planner, but I've also served as a teaching assistant, a private in-home tutor, and an in-class teacher's aide. My past tutoring work has involved:

- Tutoring a high school student in algebra and trigonometry

- Working in-house with an 8th grader with special needs to improve writing, math, and organizational skills

- Tutoring two fourth graders in advanced math (pre-algebra)

- Serving as a teaching assistant for a graduate-level transportation planning course of 40 students, providing feedback on grammar, analytical skills, and critical thinking for mid-length (12-16 page) papers about various transportation concepts discussed in class

- Serving as a teaching assistant for a 25-student urban design course, grading students’ visions for new development sites based on their creativity, feasibility, and use of skills learned in class.

- Volunteering as an in-class aide for a sixth-grade social studies course at a charter school for underprivileged children

- Volunteering as an in-class aide for a second-grade Catholic religious education class" less...
