Interest topicHistoryFilms & 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.

Me gusta cuando hablas porque estás presente. Let's talk!
I’m two weeks into Nycole’s one-month Spanish Intensive course and it’s hands-down the most productive learning experience I’ve ever had on my language learning journey.
Within these past two weeks I learned how to form FULL SENTENCES in past, present, and future tense. I’ve experience immediate success after each two-hour session, and find myself being able to read and listen so much more effectively.
Nycole is patient and motivating— she challenges you just enough to practice the material learned in class without you feeling overwhelmed. I also find her podcasts very helpful, and find myself learning a lot about Colombia in the process.
Overall I’m incredibly satisfied with the effectiveness of her teaching method, and look forward to completing this one-month intensive and also continue working with her afterwards to improve my conversational skills!

An informative lesson with Nycole. She helped me correct some grammar mistakes. She always comes prepared for our lessons and I always come away learning something new and wanting to learn more.

I highly recommend Nycole. In just the first lesson she made me feel more confident with my currently limited capabilities and excited about expanding my ability to speak and understand. I felt like I was in very caring and capable hands. You will too.
