Founder and tutor Nick Lyons brings over 20 years’ teaching experience to each session.
He began tutoring math in 2006 and has since helped countless students in New York City maximize their understanding and achievement in standard and specialized math coursework through high school. For him tutoring is a natural expression of his loves of teaching, of mathematical thought, and of helping others discover and reach their true potential.

He graduated in 2004 with a bachelor’s degree from Oberlin.
As a tutor I strive to:
Strengthen the student’s connection to their inner mathematical sense and cultivate a sense of trust and confidence in their own reasoning and perception.
Promote mathematical fluency at whatever level the student is studying.
Expand the students’ sense of joy and appreciation for quantitative thought.
Guide the student to achieve at their desired level.
Share mathematical perspectives that reach beyond the scope of typical classroom curricula.
Present math as rich science rather than mechanical operations.
Communicate in a direct and effective manner, hence STRAIGHT AHEAD!

TESTIMONIALS
“Nick was great. He is very low key and gentle, and was able to engage easily with both of our kids, with their distinct personalities and learning styles. The kids really enjoyed their time with him. What impressed me most was that he did not seem to lecture to the kids at all - he is smart enough to understand what they are thinking and ask the right questions to bring them along in the thinking process. Highly recommend him!”
Parents of NY Teens website review
“Nick is a more than capable tutor in numerous spheres of academia that span from mathematics to essay-writing, from standardized test preparation to homework-monitoring, and from executive functioning to organization support. He prides himself in making a personal connection with each of his students and using these relationships to inspire positive diligence, motivation, and academic success within each child. I would highly recommend his services to any parent in New York City.”
