Nicole- Social Studies & English Teacher

Nicole J.

Hi there! My name is Nicole and I wanted to thank you for your consideration for being your student's tutor! I have two college degrees- Master's of Education and a Bachelor of Arts-History & English both from the University of Northern Colorado. I have also obtained multiple certifications such as AVID teacher training, High Instructional Impact Practices, and much more!

I have been a teacher for three years now. My first two years I taught Social Studies (U.S. History & Government) to over 200 students. This year, my third year teaching I am teaching American Literature to roughly 80 students. I spent two years working as an after school tutor to 12-15 students twice a week for an hour. My method and approach to tutoring is the same as education- each student is unique and requires unique teaching. I teach and tutor with a "student first" approach. I want to know my students and their interests prior to anything else- this build trust in our educational relationship, and serves as a way that students know they can trust me prior to teaching or helping them with anything else.

I have taught primarily 10th-12th graders, but have worked with students ranging from 6th grade through 12th grade. I have been teaching for 3 years and my experience in the classroom is a student-first approach. Once again, I like to work on building positive and safe relationships with students on day one. This contributes to the classroom culture and provides a safe and effective learning environment for everyone in the classroom. I tutored after school for 2 years, at the rate of twice a week for 12-15 students a time. I helped students with their Social Studies homework, reading comprehension, annotations, writing skills and so much more!
I'd love to help your student out with any improvements they'd like to make!
