Imagine turning overwhelming math into the highlight of the day, all while having a blast! ---------------- CLASS ENVIRONMENT Our classrooms are guided by a Socratic teaching approach, fostering critical thinking and encouraging open dialogue among learners. By facilitating engaging discussions and posing thought-provoking questions, students are able to explore topics more deeply and gain a comprehensive understanding of the material. Our class size does not exceed 4 learners. This allows for more personalized attention from the educator, ensuring that each learner's individual needs and learning styles are met. With a smaller group size, there is also more opportunity for discussion and collaboration among classmates, creating a supportive and engaging learning environment. Additionally, students may feel more comfortable and confident participating in discussions and activities in a smaller group setting. We incorporate a mix of traditional methods such as videos and limited PowerPoint presentations to accommodate various learning styles as well. In addition, we gamify our lessons, as much as possible, to make learning fun and interactive for students. By adding elements of games and competition, we are able to keep learners engaged and motivated to participate in their education. We also incorporate hands-on projects, wherever possible, to provide students with real-world application of their learning. Through these projects, students are able to apply their knowledge in practical ways and further enhance their understanding of the subject matter. By designing this type of diverse classroom environment, utilizing multiple teaching methods, we effectively address the diverse learning styles of our learners. _______ IMPORTANT DATES Please note we value mental health and want to prevent teacher burnout.

NICK HOLTZER
Hi families! My name is Nick but as my students like to say, "Mr. Nick / Nicky." I have been a teacher for almost seven years teaching English / Language Arts / Math / Social Studies and Science at an Elementary school just outside of Washington DC. I am a passionate and dedicated learner and teacher that strives to provide endless opportunities for my students to be successful. I always say, "that as humans we all love to learn new things but we just don't know HOW we like to learn those things." My goal is to guide and support my students in finding the most effective avenue for them to learn and grow.
