Experience
Experienced math and physics tutor with over a decade of experience in one-on-one teaching. My name is Zakary Jay Nicholls, and I am a secondary & university educator focused on the fields of mathematics and physics. I have worked as a tutor for the last 14 years (in both in person and online lesson formats) and during my time in the industry have taught over 15000 hours of one-on-one, and small group, lessons to in excess of 2000 students. I began my career back in 2011, initially as a K-10 tutor teaching mathematics, later training as a vocational teacher and expanding my tuition into business studies and economics, and later into full scale instruction in K-12 and university math and physics. My extensive experience, and demonstrated history of strong student improvements, make me one of the most successful tutors in the state. I am highly skilled at generating improvements for students in both academic and vocational pathways. I received my bachelor's degree in commerce specialized in economics and mathematics from the Newcastle business school at the University of Newcastle, alongside a certificate in business management (focused on staff training) from HBA learning and a certificate in vocational teaching (focused on numeracy teaching) from the Newcastle TAFE. I later received a diploma in general studies science and a graduate certificate in mathematics both specialized in mathematics and statistics from the school of computing, mathematics, and engineering at Charles Sturt University, followed by a graduate diploma of science in astrophysics and physics from the school of mathematics, physics, and computing at the University of Southern Queensland.
