"Hi - I'm Nicole. I have 17+ years of experience working with students at all levels of the spectrum. As a tutor, I have worked for two different professional tutoring agencies, one specializing in SAT and ACT tutoring, and another specializing in K-12 subject tutoring. I have also worked with a county-based literacy council, working with both adult literacy learners and elementary students struggling to learn to read.

My tutoring style has been described as engaging, encouraging, and adaptive. I received a perfect scores on the SAT, and full scholarship opportunities to Yale and Wellesley. I am a flexible and adaptive tutor, whether my students are applying to college, studying for the SAT/ACT exams, or require specialized tutoring support in a specific school subject.

I am committed to helping the intimidated student become the confident student. I am particularly adept at helping students build strategies for successful test-taking, as well as understanding the material necessary to correctly answer the questions. It is important to remember that standardized tests follow a set pattern and employ the same strategies throughout; understanding how to navigate that pattern is key to a good score.

The skills and techniques I teach have a far-reaching and long-lasting impact on a student’s general knowledge and confidence. Incorporated into my lessons are reading, writing, and math fundamentals that provide review and enrichment. I work with each student to create an individualized plan of study, taking into account each student’s unique strengths and abilities. It is my goal to create a fun and dynamic learning experience that can motivate any student and enhance their love of learning. I believe that through positive thinking and consistent practice, a student can achieve their goals.

My fall 2022 student roster is close to full capacity. If you're interested in scheduling a session, please message me directly. My current availability and schedule is not maintained on Wyzant." less...
