Hi! My name is Nikki and I am currently stay at home mom with lots of flexibility to help you out! Previously, I taught both junior high teacher and high school students Spanish, math, and language arts. looking to help you out! I am very comfortable tutoring students of all ages and currently help students aged 8-22. I am certified to teach Spanish, language arts, math, and social studies, and can also help with ACT and college planning. I attended the University of Illinois, receiving degrees in Teaching of Spanish as well as Psychology.
I have been tutoring students for as long as I can remember. Being the oldest of six children, I have always taken on the responsibility with helping my younger siblings succeed in school. We have spent countless hours focusing on their homework completion, as well as study skills, executive functioning, and goal setting. I privately tutor students regularly at both the middle school and high school levels who struggle with motivation to complete work. I believe it is important for the student to have a say in the way their tutor teaches, so I am always sure to ask the student at the start of each session their goal for the day and cater to that throughout the lesson. That way, we are working together, rather than the student being "forced" to be tutored.

I look forward to hearing from you and working with you! Thank you for your time.

As a certified teacher, I have an endorsement to teach social studies. This endorsement by the state of Illinois is for both middle school (6-8) and high school (9-12) students. I took numerous courses in college on history, as well as pedagogy classes on how to teach the information to students.

I am a certified K-12 Spanish teacher who has two years of classroom experience. As a Teaching of Spanish major from the University of Illinois in Urbana-Champaign, I have spent countless hours in a classroom setting as well as one-on-one to become an expert in the Spanish language.
Study Skills

Study Skills

As a current junior high (grades 6-8) teacher, we spend quite a bit of time in class focusing on study skills. This is particularly important in Spanish which is very unfamiliar to many students. We talk about the idea of memorizing vs. learning for retention. I have much experience tutoring students who struggle with studying and give them tips based on pedagogical studies as well as my own experiences.

Excellent tutor!

Nikki has been a wonderful tutor for our son. Her communication has been top notch, she is very prompt, and gives immediate feedback to my son, and to us to keep us in the loop of how he is doing. I appreciate how she has kept him motivated and makes him accountable for his work. I highly recommend Nikki as a tutor. We feel very lucky to have her working with our son.
