I love to teach and excite students in whatever they are learning. I began teaching in public schools when I was 22. I taught 3rd and 4th graders for 11 years in all subjects. I then stopped teaching when I had my first child. However, my children were homeschooled and I taught many different types of classes in a homeschool co-op.

I enjoy coming up with new ways to teach a lesson, and I am passionate about my students.

Students leave me not only understanding skills and concepts that will not only prepare them for college, but also l...

HELLO! I'm Nicole! I graduated from Fort Hays State University with my Bachelors in Business Education with a concentration in Talent Development and certificates in Marketing, Social Media Marketing & Leadership Studies. I did all of my education online so I am super familiar with the flexibility of online learning. Since I have a background in education, while obtaining my degree, I filtered what I was learning through that lens. One of my favorite assignments was building a lesson plan to be utilized via an online platform. I would be more than happy to share a link to these sample lessons as well - just ask! :) Full disclosure: I have mi
