About Me

I have always been enthusiastic about school and learning since elementary school. Although school did not always come easily for me, I learned the value of hard work and asking for help when I needed it. Since elementary school, I have always enjoyed math and science classes the most. After graduating college in North Dakota, I moved to New York City to pursue my education degree. I taught middle school math for seven years at all grade levels. This experience provided me the opportunity to work with many different students and I learned that each student is extremely unique. In 2011, I moved back to Minnesota and taught both special education and general education students again focusing mainly on teaching math. I believe that all students can learn and I have experienced this firsthand. I have high expectations for each student I teach and work hard to learn individual learning styles and life interests. By building relationships in this way, I believe that real learning takes place.

Q&A with Nick

My teaching philosophy is believing that all students have the potential to be successful. It's my job to learn what interests each student and to determine how each students learns the best. I believe that getting to know each student and building the relationship is essential to a successful partnership. How can you help a student become an independent learner? I help students become independent learners by helping them experience success early to build their confidence. In addition, I believe in teaching life-long strategies that can be used when nobody is around to help. How would you help a student stay motivated?
