About Nicky
Science education has been at the heart of my career. I hold a bachelor's degree in Biology and Environmental Studies from Amherst College. In September 2021, I graduated with a master's degree in Biological and Environmental Sciences and a certificate in Science Writing and Rhetoric at the University of Rhode Island. From research cruises and excursions in salt marshes, to leading programs at a marine education center, and engaging in collaborative projects domestically and internationally, I communicate with diverse audiences on scientific issues. I have 3 years of experience tutoring K-12 students in subjects from Geology to English, and I currently tutor a 3rd grader and 5th grader via Zoom on a near-daily basis, in addition to offering an array of remote editing services to students from 6th grade to the undergraduate level. My past work as a teaching assistant at the University of Rhode Island and a mentor at various science organizations has given me additional experience crafting lesson plans and connecting with kids and young adults. At my current position, I engage in scientific outreach, education, and research at a local non-profit to provide better pathways for food security in the New England region. You can be assured knowing that science communication is a skill developed over many years.

My teaching style molds to the individual student's needs, strengths, and weaknesses. In general, I believe that writing about science is the key to understanding it. As such, my lessons are writing and discussion-based. I often use visual aids such as infographics and animations to enable conceptual understanding of the topics. I follow a systems-based teaching design by introducing multiple concepts to encourage analytical thinking. Science today is embedded in the ways we live like never before; it is important to give students the opportunity to think about how a particular concept could relate to their everyday life. In my past teaching experiences, I have found this strategy to be best for memory retention and student interest.

I worked with Nicky for about 3 semesters on a variety of subjects. She was an excellent tutor. Always organized, planned ahead and very knowledgeable and patient. My work improved significantly while working with her. I would highly recommend her.
Nicky is my twin sister whom I have lived with for 20 years! Every day she is teaching me something new and I have learned an immense amount of information from her. Nicky doesn't stop educating until she knows that you fully understand the concept. I trust her knowledge and teaching because of her impressive educational background. Whenever I need help with a paper I'm writing or understanding a reading that I have to do, Nicky is always able to clarify. She is amazing at identifying and correcting grammatical issues and sentence structure problems. She is enthusiastic about teaching and motivated to help others learn. I recommend Nicky to any Superprof member looking to improve their writing.
