I am an elementary school teacher who is proficient at growing students in their math skills. My classroom always scores in the top 30% of the district if not higher.

I worked with Nick at an elementary school. It was clear that he was committed to his students. Not only does Nick provide solid instruction, but also works to build relationships with his students, and push them to achieve their potential. He is a great teacher.

Nick is a fun loving basketball coach/teacher extraordinaire, with over 10 years dedicated to his 4th grade students at the same school for the arts. His patience and dedication to helping ALL students, and his attention to cultural and social awareness, enable him to truly meet the needs of all of his students. His coach’s mentality builds trust and ensures that students are as invested in learning the math concepts as Nick is at helping them learn. Teaching at the school for the arts has given him many tools and strategies over the years, incorporating both the arts and multicultural practices to meet the needs of all learners. Nick “Mr. Novak” will help your student succeed!

Mr. Novak is an excellent math teacher! He helped my children out tremendously. He gets to know the kids and then works to create a plan to help increase math skills. I’m very thankful for his help.

Nick and I have taught together in a public elementary school setting. Nick is student centered, data driven, and skilled at applying a multitude of teaching strategies. Students and staff alike are drawn to his positive energy and natural ability to positively impact others.
