Meet Our Teachers

Nicole P., M.Ed.
I turn history into a captivating story—sometimes spooky, always fascinating—so students become immersed without even realizing they’re learning. With degrees in Sociology, Psychology, Philosophy, Criminal Justice, and a Master’s in Education, I’ve spent decades working in diverse settings, encouraging students to think critically, plan logically, and find their unique voices.

Les P, M.A.
I help students connect with each other, set meaningful goals, and develop strong life skills. Drawing from my background in counseling, I bring humor, adventure, and a knack for making learning practical and fun. Whether it’s balloon twisting or guiding students through decision-making, I focus on building confidence, connection, collaboration, and logical thinking.

Kristi M, M.A. Ed.
I’m a mom, tutor, and intuitive teacher who adapts to each student’s learning style. With a graduate background in child and adolescent development and over a decade of experience, I love helping kids learn through creativity and exploration. I bring the joy of discovery into every lesson, making learning playful and personal.

Katrina “Minty” P
An entertainer from a young age, I blend my passion for gaming, engineering, and creative arts into hands-on classes. A Twitch streamer, college student in engineering and math, and trained youth chaplain, I love teaching Minecraft, Balloons, Anime, art, and basic engineering. My goal is to inspire students to explore their interests and think flexibly.

Talon P
A gaming enthusiast and recent tech grad, I’ve been behind the scenes developing content for our FNAF classes for years. Skilled in programming and internet tech, I’m excited to share gaming strategies, lore, and create new digital experiences.
