Meet Our Team

Nicholas LaPoma
President & Founder
Nicholas LaPoma, also known as Nick The Tutor on TikTok and across various social media platforms, is the owner and founder of Curvebreakers. After graduating from one of New York’s top Law Schools and beginning a career in litigation, he discovered his true passion in tutoring.
Nick began his tutoring career working for one of the large test prep companies, where he picked up on the many shortfalls of their canned material and rigid class structures.
When Nicholas began Curvebreakers, he rolled out a different approach, creating an adaptable methodology for each student.
