"My name is Nick P., and I am known online as the Math Teacher GOAT on YouTube, where I create engaging and easy-to-follow math lessons for students across the country. I have over 20 years of experience teaching mathematics at the middle school, high school, and college levels. My background includes extensive coursework in mathematics and education, along with years of professional classroom teaching and one-on-one instruction. I currently specialize in high school mathematics, with particular strengths in Algebra 1 (including Keystone exam preparation), Geometry, Algebra 2, Precalculus, AP Precalculus, Calculus, and AP Calculus.

Throughout my career, I have taught students ranging from middle school through college, both in traditional classroom settings and through individualized tutoring. I have worked one-on-one with students who needed foundational support as well as students aiming for high achievement in advanced and AP-level courses. My teaching experience spans over two decades, allowing me to adapt quickly to different learning styles, confidence levels, and academic goals. I am especially skilled at identifying where a student’s understanding breaks down and rebuilding concepts in a clear, structured way that leads to real progress.

My tutoring style focuses on making math understandable, approachable, and even enjoyable. I believe students learn best when lessons are clear, paced appropriately, and connected to what they already know. I use humor, real-world examples, and step-by-step explanations to help students feel relaxed and confident while learning challenging material. Whether a student needs long-term academic support or targeted help before an exam, my goal is always the same: to help them truly understand the math, build confidence, and succeed independently." less...
