Farsi

I have been born, raised and educated in Iran so my first and native language is Farsi (Persian). I can fluently speak and write in Farsi and I have lived in United States for more than 20 years.


linear algebra

I have taken linear algebra Math 262 in California State University (CSUN) and passed it with grade A, and I tutored few of my classmates during the semester.


elementary math


discrete math

I have taken Discrete Math classes in California State University (CSUN) like Transition to higher Math (Math 320) covering logic, proving, set theory and probability (Math 340) about district probability and statistics and have passed both with grade A. Discrete mathematics is the study of mathematical structures that are fundamentally discrete rather than continuous. In contrast to real numbers that have the property of varying "smoothly", the objects studied in discrete mathematics – such as integers, graphs, and statements in logic – do not vary smoothly in this way, but have distinct, separated values. Discrete mathematics therefore excludes topics in "continuous mathematics" such as calculus and analysis.

Lisa H. from Granada Hills, CA

My son has started to improve in calculus after he had Nick as a tutor. I'm proud that my son pays more attention to his studies after he started to understand the material. My son improved on the test quite a bit after their lesson.


Viji E. from Tarzana, CA

Nick has been my daughter's tutor for AP Calculus over the past 6 weeks. Not only is he brilliant, he has great skills in getting complex subject matter across and understood. He does not allow the student to get frustrated, but rather helps them through with a lot of patience and tolerance. The end result is that complex concepts are grasped and built upon. He's dependable, reliable and always punctual. We 100% recommend him as an amazing tutor and are thrilled to have the opportunity to work with him.


Alvin D. from Northridge, CA

Nick tutored my mom on the basics of her new Dell laptop. She said it went very well. Definitely recommend!


Ian C. from Tarzana, CA

Nick was able to explain concepts to me that we did not have time to cover in my physics class. I feel like his tutoring will definitely help in my preparation for the SAT Subject Test in Physics. I have already scheduled another session.


Karen S. from Northridge, CA

On Monday my daughter did her first tutoring with Nick for algebra 1. My daughter told me that Nick was wonderful and very easy to understand. He showed her various shortcuts to solving problems that makes checking her work easier. Nick definitely knows the subject matter well and I would highly recommend him as a tutor. We have scheduled another session with Nick.


Jose F. from Tarzana, CA

Nick is an excellent tutor that is helping my girls improve on their Honor PreCalc class. He is very patient and extremely good at explaining the material to the students. He is also very flexible on working with the students' busy schedule. We could not be happier with his work.


Pummy R. from Northridge, CA

Nick is incredibly kind and knowledgeable about the tutoring process. My son was struggling with Algebra 2 and he got an "A" with Nick's help. I will really recommend him.


Venkat B. from Northridge, CA

I strongly recommend Nick. He is very patient with my son and very good in adapting himself on how to teach him. He is very good in teaching physics and geometry and my son loves to work with him. Nick makes it easier for my son to understand.


Sabrina M. from Encino, CA

I've been trying to pass the ELM test for a few years now and I had so many tutors helping me but none of them helped me pass until I had Nick tutoring me. He's an amazing tutor with a great attitude. He helps you understand how the problem works so you can easily remember how to solve it. He gives you the confidence you need. I would recommend him to all my friends that need help with any kind of math. He truly is amazing and I am so happy I found him to help me.


Louis D. from Van Nuys, CA

Nick is a nice man and a true mathematician, he is good at making difficult problems fun. Gives good shortcut simplifications and helps students build confidence in their abilities. I am very glad he is helping my daughter.Thanks Nick!


Maxwell S. from Canoga Park, CA

Nick really helped me achieve my goals and then some. If you want a patient, flexible, easy going, fair priced tutor, Nick is the tutor for you or your child. He knows his material like the back of his hand and doesn't ever disappoint. Math is not easy by any standard and he made it fun and approachable. From algebra to calculus and everything in between, Nick is the best around.


Alana T. from Northridge, CA

Nick had tutored my son recently for an Algebra 2 class. He is very patient and takes his time explaining everything. He responds immediately to our emails and phone calls and is very flexible his schedule. We are very happy with our experience with Nick.


Tina F. from Sherman Oaks, CA

Nick is currently tutoring in preparation for an AP Calculus Exam and class work. He is very effective and positive. Nick is very responsible and makes every effort to make arrangements for tutoring if there is an upcoming test. His teaching methods are very clear, concise, and detailed oriented.


Rashed A. from Reseda, CA

Nick is a very good tutor, and I learned a lot from him, he make me understand many topics. I recommend everyone who has trouble with math to try Nick. Thank you Nick!


Maurine B. from Encino, CA

My daughter is an A student, except for in math. When her grade dropped to a C- the first semester of 7th grade, I knew I had to get her some help. I found Nick through Wyzant and in a short time her grade was up to a B. I feel very grateful that Nick is able to explain math to my daughter in a way that she understands it. I am looking forward to her continued learning with Nick and getting her math grade up to an A. Nick is very professional, accommodating, and easy to get in touch with. Thank you Nick!!


Mary P. from Granada Hills, CA

We are picky when it comes to looking for the right teacher. The following were our requirements... affordable, an expert in his field, has the gift of teaching (not everyone can teach), easy to work with, and can provide the challenge the student needs. We found all these in Nick. On top of this he's also nice, approachable and always on time.


Maya B. from Northridge, CA

We've tried few other tutors before we found Nick S. - he worked out the best for my daughter! Just in a few months he pulled her from D in Calc to strong B. I am very pleased with his teaching methods and strong knowledge in Math!


Deanna M. from Chatsworth, CA

Nick is a great tutor. My granddaughter feel very confident about what she has covered with him. I am very pleased with your services. He is an excellent physics tutor. He explains the concepts in ways that the student can quickly understand. I couldn't be more pleased.


Susan M. from West Hills, CA

Nick is great. Very patient and makes things easy to understand. He is teaching me Calculus I (Math 150 A & B) at CSUN. I wish he was my teacher at school, I know I would not need a tutor. I am going to see him again as soon as I find out my test schedule.


Manuela P. from Woodland Hills, CA

Nick is a great tutor. He is always on time, patient, and he explains very well. He always answers to his phone and emails on the same day, and is always willing to help. If you are looking for a tutor then I really recommend Nick. He has brought my Pre-calculus grade up from a D to an A.


Daniel F. from Granada Hills, CA

Nick showed up on time, he got right to it. He is a little fast, if your math skills are lacking as bad as my algebra skills are. He might move a little too speedy for you to get the full grasp, but he is patient and will go over the problem as much as needed. He calls back quickly, that's good. He is busy, but I didn't have to wait to see him. Although 9PM is a little late to start a session. I passed my test on quadratic equations, I just wish i had used him when I was graphing slopes. I give him 5 stars.


Talha K. from Sylmar, CA

I had difficulties with Math 93 (Developmental Math), and Nick helped me understand it really well. His calm way and kindness is what I liked about him the most, he also explains Math in a very simple way. I recommend that you give him a shot and you won't regret it!


Janet F. from Encino, CA

Nick is a great tutor. He is smart, kind and supportive. He is always on time and very patient. He has good humor and pleasant to have in my home.

Patricia A. from Encino, CA

We are very happy with Nick. My daughter is performing much better and we are happy. Thanks for the great service.


LAUREN R. from North Hollywood, CA

My son's first meeting with Nick was very interesting. He is really a very nice person, professional, has good personality and pleasant to talk to. Nick arrived on time. My son likes his method of teaching, articulate and very knowledgeable. It was very easy for my son to absorbed showing the way he solved problems with his AP Calculus. He is looking forward to his next lesson/subject in AP Physics with Nick. I highly recommend this great tutor.

Kyle S. from San Fernando, CA

At first I was unsure about a tutor, because I had never had or needed one before. However, after the first few sessions with Nick I became more confident about my abilities in Algebra II.

Judy M. from Simi Valley, CA

Nick showed lots of patience with my daughter. She was having difficulty learning the concepts and Nick went through it step by step with her.


Suzy P. from Encino, CA

Nick arrived today exactly on time for his first session and got straight down to work with our daughter who needed some extra help on her 11th Grade Pre-Calc/Trig course. First impressions are really favorable and it appears he is just the person to get her on the right track to achieve the high grade she is looking for this year! He's very professional and knows his subject - and has a charming and polite personality. We look forward to his next visit!


MImi C. from Granada Hills, CA

My daughter told me it was well worth the while. She told me that Nick was able to explain half a semesters worth of Trig in just one lesson. Obviously the teaching provided by our local schools is lacking so it is very good to be able to find quality. Thanks very much and wish we had done this sooner (would have saved us a lot of grief)


Vivian T. from West Hills, CA

My daughter had a tutoring session with Nick for her AP Calculus class. She was very happy with him and the time they spent. She felt he was very knowledgeable and explained everything very thoroughly allowing her to see what she needed to work on. She is very confident she will be able to apply everything he explained to her on her final this coming week.


Nitish B. from Chatsworth, CA

He is a early good teacher, and is very humble with his students all the time. He knows what he is talking about.


Diana V. from Chatsworth, CA

Nick is very patient and is very detailed. He doesn't keep you guessing. He guides you through step-by-step and helps you to remember things. He is very helpful and I highly recommend him. He is a very pleasant person and very easy going. Thanks Nick!


Anna N. from Woodland Hills, CA

Nick knows his math, far more than my son is likely to need for high school. He may work using slightly different processes than your child's school but that's easily rectified once he sees the text your child's working with. I recommend him highly.


Tim C. from Granada Hills, CA

Nick posses a thorough understanding of the subject and a talent for teaching. We will be using him for all of my son's trigonometry needs this semester


Dawn J. from Northridge, CA

Nick is doing a great job teaching my son Calculus to prepare him for his college class this fall. Thank you!


Charina A. from Northridge, CA

Knowledgeable, patient and passionate which made it encouraging for my son to learn more about AP Calc! A good fit is always important.


Alan Z. from Granada Hills, CA

Maria R. from Palmdale, CA

Nick helped greatly with an overall understanding of the Calculus class and strategies for approaching the final which were very successful


Suzanne V. from Valencia, CA

Nick explained an entire semester of Honors Algebra 2/Trig, to my daughter, in one session. My daughter completely understood the concepts after Nick had patiently explained it to her. She now feels confident enough to take her final!


Keiko S. from Simi Valley, CA

It was the first time that my daughter had a lesson from tutor. The experience was more than we expected. Nick explained in many different ways and the simplest ways so that my daughter could grasp and understand the concepts clearly. He taught her not only the problems we brought, but also a few more chapters ahead which covers almost entire course of Algebra l within 1 hour lesson. Thank you, Nick, so much for your honesty and patience.


Hannah M. from Northridge, CA

He helped me understand how to interpret and solve word problems and clarified some misconceptions I had in calculus. He helped me feel more confident.


Harrison R. from Encino, CA
