About Nicole


Bio

I am an English and Composition instructor at Ecole Jean-Jacques Rousseau French Immersion Academy in North Austin by morning, and seeking to help you or your student by afternoon or evening!

I received my BA in Rhetoric & Writing from the University of Texas at Austin, and my Master's in Teaching (with an English focus, of course!) from Saint Edward's University. I have a strong background in the written word and test prep, and have actually worked for years as a copyeditor.

I love writing...

I am an English and Composition instructor at Ecole Jean-Jacques Rousseau French Immersion Academy in North Austin by morning, and seeking to help you or your student by afternoon or evening!

I received my BA in Rhetoric & Writing from the University of Texas at Austin, and my Master's in Teaching (with an English focus, of course!) from Saint Edward's University. I have a strong background in the written word and test prep, and have actually worked for years as a copyeditor.

I love writing and literature, and I hope to pass that enthusiasm on to you, whether you are looking for test prep help, essay assistance, or general English tutoring.

On top of my degrees, I have worked as a copyeditor/copywriter for the last five years. I have also tutored students at every grade level from kindergarten through college, and in fact used to work with a homework-help afterschool program.

Feel free to contact me with any questions, or to set up a lesson. I look forward to meeting you!

Awesome writing expert!

With Nicole's help, I have learned how to write with clarity, cohesiveness, and conciseness. Therefore, increasing my confidence and joy in writing. She is a friendly and easy-going person, thus making her a pleasure to work with. I highly recommend working with Nicole for all of your writing needs.

Knowledgeable, organized, patient, and fun

Ms. Nicole is a kind heart person and has worked with my two boys, one in elementary and one in middle school, for over half year. She's always prepared and very patient to understand their difference and teach them for their needs. She also loves to share her own stories with them, which inspires my boys on their writing a the time. My boys were used to be "picture colleges", and now friends ask them why they become so "wordy". We love her a lot!

Highly Recommended

Nicole had an innate ability in helping my daughter comprehend the rules, skills and overall strategy of both the ACT/SAT English and Reading sections. I highly recommend Nicole if your kid is intelligent and willing to listen to her instruction.
