Experience
I have been working in the classroom for over 10 years and privately tutoring for 7 years. I studied Psychology in college and developed an understanding in educating students' with developmental and intellectual disabilities. I am now looking to pursue a Master degree in Secondary Education along side a teaching credential. In the meantime, I want to continue helping students in anyway I can. I've helped students learn to read, phonics, spelling, early literacy, writing structure paragraphs / essays, persuasive writing, APA citing, basic arithmetic, algebra, geometry, trigonometry, biology, and chemistry. I structure my sessions based on the student's needs and learning styles. I start by building rapport and setting goals.
Teaching Methodology
I am an adaptable teacher. Whether your student has a visual, auditory, reading, or kinesthetic learning style, my teaching strategies adapt where needed. Whether it's note taking, flash cards, using visuals, or using movement, I adapt. Sometimes even moving to a different location to help generalize ideas is needed. My method of teaching is dependently upon exactly what each individual student needs and I teach at their pace.
Why Choose Nicole?
I take commitment to learning seriously. I was raised with the understanding that getting an education is important and I stand firm with that idea today. I have patience and a passion for teaching and am humbled when I watch my students build their own sense of self and confidence. Being a part of teaching the next generation is a rewarding experience because the future needs more inspiring young individuals and I'm happy to help in any way I can.
Other Interests
When I'm not with students, I'm out and about with my 2 and 8 year olds. I played the piano growing up and was in my high school's marching band so I have a keen ear and passion for music. I enjoy spending time outdoors, especially anywhere by water. The sound of water is calming. Lately, I've been starting my own backyard vegetable and herb garden.
