Profile
Nick
SAT, SSAT, US Exams, English
Born in New York and educated in North London before graduating from Georgetown, Nick understands the challenges of applying to US universities from the UK system.
Nick was born in New York City and moved to the UK at 12, attending The Hall and University College School in North London. Having completed both US and UK university applications, he went on to earn a Bachelor’s degree from the Walsh School of Foreign Service at Georgetown University, including study at Nanjing University.
At Georgetown, Nick volunteered with tutoring programmes in Washington DC, teaching the GRE and English as a Second Language. After graduating he worked as an assistant coach for cross-country running and basketball at a top New York day school, and then trained and worked as an ESL teacher in Indonesia. He knows what it takes to prepare for the SATs alongside the UK curriculum.
As a student of languages, Nick learned most from discovering how to learn, so he encourages students to find an approach to the material that feels right for them. He is patient and relaxed and values a positive working atmosphere, but will always try a new approach if something isn’t working. A meaningful understanding of the material is his first priority.
