Why I am getting Selenium init error on constructor?

sorry, I don't know if I constructed the title properly. But the problem I have is that when I created page object Tile and instantiazed it on Test page it gives error just after opening the page. code below:

public class Tile {
    private WebDriver driver;
    private String title;
    private WebElement titleEl;

    public Tile(WebDriver driver) {
        this.driver = driver;
        this.titleEl = driver.findElement(By.xpath("//div[@id='xpathGoesHere']"));
        this.title = titleEl.getText();
     }

    public WebElement getTitleEl() {
        return titleEl;
    }

    public void setTitleEl(WebElement titleEl) {
        this.titleEl = titleEl;
    }

   public String getTitle() {
    return title;
}

public void setTitle(String title) {
    this.title = title;
}

and there's a separate page for Tiles (as a component) 

public class Tiles {
    private WebDriver driver;

    public Tiles(WebDriver driver) {
        this.driver = driver;
    }

another page:

public class ThePage extends BasePage {

    private final Tile tile;
    private final Tiles tiles;

    public ThePage(WebDriver driver) {
        super(driver);
        this.tile = new Tile(driver);
        this.tiles = new Tiles(driver);
    }

    public Tile tile() {
        return tile;
    }

    public Tilesresults() {
        return tiles;
    }

}

and on Test page:

public class SomeTest extends BaseTest {
    private static String URL = "https://www.page.com/home/";
private Tile tile;
private ThePage page;
private String link = "link";

@BeforeMethod
public void setup() {
    driver.get(URL);
    driver.manage().timeouts().implicitlyWait(3, TimeUnit.SECONDS);
    page = new ThePage(driver);
}

@Test
public void test() throws Exception {
    // code goes here
    tile = new Tile(driver);
    tiles.results().getTiles();
    tile.getTitle();
}

}

I tried many things and I just no longer have ideas, I also checked POM pages online but couldnt find why it doesnt work. Help please, I am new to this P.S. the page goes like this:

Add explicit wait in constructor, because it might be possible that element is taking time to load. If this does not work then xpath needs to be updated.

WebElement element=wait.until(ExpectedConditions.visibilityOfElementLocated(By.xpath("ur xpath here")));

As per image Tiles Page Class contains Tile Class so this is kind of HAS A relationship So we need to add Tile Class object reference in Tiles Page Class

public class Tiles {
    private WebDriver driver;
    public Tile tile;
    public Tiles(WebDriver driver) {
        this.driver = driver;
    }
