"Hey!

I'm Nick.

For almost 10 years now, I've been a leading test prep guru and writing coach based in sunny Southern California, though my students stretch across the country and even across the Atlantic.

As the author of original The College Lad curriculum and the tutor of choice for students who are committed to hitting 1500+ on SAT or 34+ on ACT, I've tutored on-set with some of America's brightest young on-screen talent and presented on application essays and test strategy to parents and students all over the Los Angeles area.

My writing has been published in over a dozen outlets, and I’ve helped hundreds of students perfect straightforward, practical techniques for improving their own writing. My strength is listening to and understanding what my students really want to say, then helping them shape it into an original, compelling essay.

Year in and year out, my students have earned admission to every Ivy League school, Stanford, MIT, Georgetown (my alma mater), Duke, Northwestern, and other top-ranked institutions.

I want to get you there too.

Looking forward to getting started!" less...
