"Nick has an excellent mastery of mathematics. He is able to not only use his knowledge in solving problems but also to explain solutions carefully and completely.
In addition to having outstanding organizational skills, Nick is a very pleasant young man who works well either alone or in a group. His work on projects was excellent, including his use of technology such as Sketchpad." Janet H. Caldwell, Ph. D. Rowan University Professor of Mathematics |
"Mr. Mellina is an extremely mature, kind, and respectful young man. I recommend Mr. Mellina highly as he possesses a rare combination of academic ability, maturity, and leadership."

"Nick is very enthusiastic, well-organized, driven and willing to bring a great deal of creativity into the classroom. The lessons and activities he has planned are beyond that of a 2nd year teacher. Nick seeks out opportunities on a weekly basis to infuse interdisciplinary lessons into his teaching as well as “the latest” available technology."
Janine Miscia-Barboza K-12 Mathematics/Science Supervisor Cedar Grove School District |
"As a Mathnasium Instructor, Nick must assist students in elementary grades up to high school and college with any topic in Mathematics in a small group setting. The students have very diverse ability levels."
