When I’m not teaching, I’m usually spending time with my family (two daughters, a husband & two toy poodles), cooking, crafting or READING!

Hi! I’m Nicole, a MN licensed K-8 teacher and tutor.

I knew I wanted to be a teacher from as far back as I could remember. In 2008, I graduated with a B.S. in Elementary Education with a specialty in Communication, Arts & Literature. I spent several years teaching in the public school classroom before pivoting to tutoring and private homeschooling. I’ve been private tutoring for 14+ years now and I love working with students and families one-on-one and in small groups. I truly believe in the power of individualized instruction and finding the right approach for each student.

Other educational involvement:

*Sonday System certified (multisensory solutions for reading)

*Participating in 30+ hours of continued learning and professional development each year

*VIRTUS safe environment trained

*Classroom and tutoring volunteer

*Former Deephaven Elementary PTA executive board member

*3+ years serving on Edina Public School’s Continuing Education Committee
