ABOUT ME

Welcome to Bright Smiles Learning!

My name is Nicole Mendiola. I am a passionate and dedicated teacher with over 15 years of experience teaching students from pre-k3 through 8th grade.
In addition to my experience in the classroom, since the global pandemic in 2020, I began offering 1:1 and group tutoring classes after school and over the summer via Zoom and in person to help students of all ages succeed. Throughout my career, I have gained a reputation for connecting with students of all ages and abilities, helping them learn and develop a love of learning that lasts a lifetime. My approach to teaching is patient and caring. I am dedicated to creating a supportive, nurturing environment that encourages children to reach their full potential. I understand that each child is unique and deserves an individualized approach to learning. As part of my mission, I emphasize working closely with each student and their families to create personalized plans catering to their needs and learning types.
