Hello and welcome! My name is Nicole, and I’ve been teaching and tutoring for over seven years, working with students from middle and high school through college and adulthood. I hold a Bachelor of Arts in Communication & Rhetorical Studies with a minor in Cultural Anthropology from Syracuse University, and I specialize in English Language Arts, writing, grammar, history, politics, social studies, anthropology, theology, test preparation, and basic life and earth sciences.

My approach combines structure, adaptability, and personalization. I know every student learns differently, so I tailor lessons to individual strengths, goals, and challenges. Building rapport is a priority for me; I understand that academic performance is often tied to emotional and mental wellbeing. By creating a supportive but focused environment, I help students stay motivated and confident while reaching their academic goals.

I’m especially skilled at breaking down complex ideas into clear, relatable concepts. Whether it’s connecting history to current events, using pop culture to explain a theory, or simplifying a difficult grammar rule, I ensure material feels accessible and relevant. I encourage critical thinking by asking follow-up questions and prompting students to take risks without fear of mistakes because learning is a process, not just a result.

My academic background gave me a strong foundation in communication, culture, and analysis, but it’s my years of teaching that have made me patient, adaptable, and highly effective. I’ve guided students preparing for exams, professionals strengthening their writing and communication skills, and learners seeking to build confidence in subjects that once felt overwhelming. In each case, my goal is to equip students with not just knowledge, but lasting skills and independence.

I look forward to helping you feel confident, capable, and curious in your studies!

Approved Subjects

Anthropology

Anthropology

With 4 years of college under my belt, six months of which were spent in Turkey & 5 months spent in Brasil, I accumulated a vast array of knowledge regarding biological anthropology. Trying to understand how the development of different races impacted societal growth and how traditions, culture, religion, politics, and economy were involved as well!
Religion

Religion

With my brother as an ordained minister, I was heavily involved in discussing religion on deeper integrated levels with him, seeking knowledge & understanding of the scripture from not only a baptist perspective, but from the different sects of Christianity. I furthered my curiosity by spending a considerable amount of time studying Islam in college, where I not only had the chance to use those studies when I lived in Turkey to study but where I also gained relationships & experiences fueled by religious intentioned and maintained through mutual respect & acceptance.

Highly Recommended: A Tutor Who Truly Connects and Cares!

Highly Recommended: A Tutor Who Truly Connects and Cares!Because of this, she needs someone who can build a genuine relationship with her before she’s willing to really dive into the work. Nicole did exactly that. She took the time to understand my daughter's personality—her strengths as a gymnast and her challenges with reading comprehension and science—and tailored her approach perfectly. What I appreciate most about Nicole is her professional integrity and communication. She provides detailed summaries after every lesson so I know exactly what they worked on (like analyzing plots or learning about tectonic plates). She is also incredibly honest; recently, when a lesson didn't go as planned, she reached out to me immediately to discuss it with so much grace and accountability. It’s rare

Amazing, knowledgeable, kind and patient tutor

Nicole helped my 5th grader son on a science homework guiding him through the claim, evidence and reasoning. Nicole was able to hold my son’s attention throughout the entire session. My son feels supported and made improvements. Looking forward to the next session! Thank you Nicole’

Nikki was great and extremely helpful.

Nikki helped my daughter with compound sentences and thinking about details on the fly. She was able to get Kourtney to open up by asking her questions about herself which made the transition into the lesson a lot easier.

We are so thankful that Nichole reached to his teacher and find right solution to help Howard. She needs to do a lot of perpetration ahead of the class and she is doing good job connecting with all the people around Howard to support him.

Catherine, 75 lessons with Nicole

She's very personable , she breaks things down in a way to help you understand them . She very amazing !!!!

she taught me that having a paper that full of details can make it hard when it come to the organization of the paper. Also that you should never have repetition in the paper its no good Nicole has taught me to make sure that every line of my paper is important , and that if there is a line that can be removed out of the paper it was never important.
