Nico Krell

tutor, director, collaborator, hiker

Nico is a Lecturer in Theater at Princeton University. He is from Montevideo, Uruguay and has been a private tutor since 2016. Using his lifetime of international experience, Nico customizes his neuroscience-based curriculum to empower students to be masters of their own minds: clear on what they need to achieve their dreams and equipped with the tools to succeed. They are fearless and flexible; they learn to conquer any problem, not just ones from past tests.

Nico graduated from Princeton University, where he created a major in Performance Studies: a blend of anthropology and critical theory. His research held American media practices to political account. For his work, he was awarded Princeton’s top honor in the arts, the Lewis Suddler Prize.

100 Years of Solitude – Gabriel García Márquez writes with a technicolor splendor that gives your imagination a workout unlike anything else I have read.

…a favorite place I’ve visited

The Redwood Coast of Northern California – getting lost in that primeval wilderness of 2,000-year-old trees, trees of a species that dates back 240 million years, is a visceral education in the era before humanity.

…eight people living or dead I’d invite to my ideal dinner party

Sappho, Federico García Lorca, José Esteban Muñoz, James Baldwin, Paula Vogel, Caryl Churchill, Harvey Milk, and Jenny Slate
