About Me

As a double major in English and Secondary Education from Nevada State College I am qualified to teach any subjects related to English, including subjects like creative writing, thesis writing, and modern grammar. I have experience in teaching, and tutoring. I taught a supplementary psychology 101 class at Nevada State College, and currently work within a local school district as a tutor for students K-12. I also did personal tutoring with college students attempting to pass the writing section of the PRAXIS or other career oriented tests. I enjoy tutoring because my methods are out of the box. I’m perfect for students who aren’t made in the mold that standard education and testing are designed to cater to. I chose English as my subject to teach and tutor because it is a topic that allows me to get to know my students, to find out what really matters to them so that I can motivate and inspire them based on their own interests. Students are not often addressed personally, or given the information relative to real life scenarios that answers their never ending question of, “Why do I need to know this?” My philosophy is to do more than educate, but illuminate on why things matter and how they relate to real life situations. Outside of tutoring, I love to read and play the guitar. I’m in a rockabilly band and spend a lot of my off hours seeking out new music or new music festivals to spend my weekend and summers at. I also have a dog that I love to spend time with hiking and walking around the park.

Q&A with Nicole

My aspiration and goals as a tutor are what any tutor's goals should be; I want my students to succeed more than anything else. I want them to have lifelong learning skills that promote metacognition, reflective thinking, and problem solving skills that will get them through whatever profession they may be seeking. I want them to be able to critically think themselves through any situation that comes up, and I want them to be well established and intelligent because these are things that will get them far. I want to inspire out of the box thinking, and the ability to find a creative alternative to the standard or normalcy expected from society.
