Hi! I’m Nicole :)
Private Tutor and Academic Coach
I combine my psychology background and 10 + years of teaching experience to help students overcome weaknesses by taking the intimidation out of learning.
As a private tutor, I specialize in developing key literacy skills, including Reading Comprehension, Reading Fluency, and Writing.
I also focus on building Critical Thinking and Analytical Skills, as well as foundational Phonics and Phonemic Awareness, to support overall reading and writing proficiency.

My Approach
Interactive
Each lesson is personalized and interactive. I engage students who are actively participating, making learning fun and engaging. Students are involved in hands-on activities, real-time problem-solving, and dynamic discussions. My interactive approach helps students understand the material better, think critically, and develop a love for learning.
What Parents are Saying
"As a parent, I feel that Miss Nicole nurtured both my sons and the things that make them unique. She did not apply a blanket one size fits all approach to her students, but really got to know them and what would work for them as individuals."
M. Barrios, Children age 10 and 7
The Cushman School
"My son recently finished 6th grade and Mrs. Niki has been working with him in the last several months first in person, and later remotely, to improve his performance in Language Arts and writing skills. His grade in the class improved significantly and his writing and composition skill have definitely improved."

Your child is my MAIN priority! My hours are not limited because I spent the day teaching while your child was in school. This means a more consistent schedule (no canceling on my end because I have a doctor's appointment or because of an after school activity). While your child is in school I am 100% available to communicate with you and prepare for our classes. This includes but is not limited to - interactive study guides, learning posters, outlines and supplementation worksheets.

Sessions are scheduled twice to three times per week to supplement core instruction. Classes are held via zoom. After each class I update you with all that we reviewed and what needs to be implemented at home for that week. If personalized worksheets or posters are needed, I send those to you to be printed at home.

With the adaptability and ease of my online classes, your child can interact and commit to classes from any desired location. This ensures uninterrupted learning, empowering your child to progress and evolve at a pace that suits them, all while feeling comfortable in their preferred surroundings.
