Teacher expertise and credentials
Texas Teaching Certificate
Hello! I am Miss Nicole and I teach English language arts, and reading. I have been honored to be awarded Teacher of the Year by my fellow faculty and voted "Most Caring" and "Gives the Best Advice" by my students! I earned my BA in English with a minor in French in 2006, and my certifications include Core Subjects (ELAR, Science, Math, and Social Studies) grades 4-8 and English as a Second Language. I have taught ELAR collectively for nine years: in public middle schools for six and for homeschooled families for three. Making reading and writing come alive for my students and challenging them to think outside the box is my favorite way to engage them in learning. Learning should be interesting and enjoyable for everyone! I consider myself a lifelong learner, and love learning new recipes, dance steps, and music as often as possible!
