Greetings! My name is Mr. Nick and I am a Kindergarten Teacher during the school year. I love being able to teach the topics I'm passionate about here on Outschool. My classes are typically geared towards lower-elementary aged children and focus on areas like social emotional learning, diversity, inclusion, and core curriculum. I love to make learning interactive, fun, and relevant to the students. I have my Elementary Teaching Certificate for grades K-5 and have years of experience working with kids in an educational environment. Ranging from the Zoo to the traditional classroom. Beyond the classroom, I love to spend time outdoors and taking care of my backyard garden. Overall, learning is meant to be enjoyable and that is what I hope my classroom does for all students who enter! 

Class Policies:
- In the event that no enrolled learners show up for a scheduled class I will wait until 10 minutes after the scheduled start time. After that point the class will be automatically cancelled and refunds will not be granted. 
- Class transfers will be grated to other sections of the same course up until the start of the scheduled session. 
- I strive to create a virtual classroom space that is fun, engaging, and celebrates all learners. Though in the event of frequent or persistent interruptions, background noise, or inappropriate/off-topic conversation the mute function will be used at my, the teacher, discretion.
- The chat function and ability to rename themselves is disabled in all of my classrooms. 
- Per Outschool policy, virtual backgrounds in our classroom space is not permitted.
