InterestsHistoryFilms & TV SeriesArt
I am passionate about what I love and what I think and it is for these reasons my life entails plenty of art, literature, films, traveling, dancing and animals. I am also patient and love to analyze and understand what I'm interested in because for me the "otherness" is an important part of who I am. That is why knowing people and sharing thoughts with them is extremely important to me.

Me as a Teacher
I can relate to my students because I remember what it was like to also be a student when I took French and English. Therefore, my experiences in learning have allowed me to address my own native language as an external phenomenon which assists me in understanding my student's unique struggle with specific topics.
I love inviting my students into the new world of Spanish realities, because it will enable them not only to speak Spanish but to also understand it in a cultural, social and human context.
My lessons & teaching style
My lessons are focused on grammar because structure is critical since it is the very foundation of the language. However, structure is only a part of language and so it is important to incorporate the social, cultural and historical aspects of Spanish into the learning experience because these three serve to transform and adapt Spanish according to and in alignment with the human condition.
Each class that my student takes part in will include conversation, grammar, reading and listening skill activities which allows for an exchange and engagement between the student and myself. I guarantee I will challenge each student but also make their experience fun and real.

I've been learning with Nycole for more than six months now and she's been more than dependable, always professional, and a lot of fun to be around. She's been very adaptive in her approach and doesn't hesitate to change things up to keep it lively. Can't see enough about her as an individual and a teacher.

I haven’t spoken spanish in a couple weeks, so I was a little nervous to book a class, but I had a super nice trial lesson with Nycole! We discussed areas that need more practice and she has a bunch of learning methods and resources; I can’t wait to book more classes with her!
