It's been nearly 5 years since I have begun working with Niko and throughout this time my experiences with him have been completely invaluable. As a former student and client, he has dedicated countless hours towards my educational career. From the first day of 7th Grade to the moment I passed my GED test he has been a steadfast mentor and skillful teacher. At heart his compassion is unmatched and he continues to be an integral figure in my life that I actively go to for guidance. There is a myriad of complex situations he has encountered amidst his 16 year career that make his form of teaching highly adaptable to the individual. In one tutoring session we could pour over math homework and by the end would be discussing emotional wellbeing. He has provided a univocally safe and welcoming environment that promotes personal betterment and education prowess. His passion for his profession and devotion to helping others is palpable. Not once have I ever felt uneasy or intimidated working with him, as he has solely been trustworthy and understanding. I owe a great amount of credit to Niko for shaping who I am today. Without his patience and dedication I would be less of a person.
