My name is Nicole and I am a certified Elementary K-8 and Special Education teacher, Highly Qualified in Math. I teach math classes that focus on breaking down skills into manageable bites. I have sixteen years of experience working with neurodiverse learners in a variety of classroom settings including Self-Contained, Resource Room, Inclusion, Regular Education and Honors. I have been a Middle School Math tutor for the last twelve years and have sharpened my skills on how to reach different learners. The core of my teaching philosophy comes from building relationships with students and knowing that each student has his or her own unique way of understanding the material. I strive to help students be successful in all environments including public and private schools as well as homeschool. 

In addition to teaching, I have three biological children and five rescue animals. We are also foster parents and enjoy having a full home! I began homeschooling my middle school aged children a couple years ago and love the extra time I get to spend with them as well as being able to personalize their learning.
