Nicole Mitchell

Grade 6 Humanities Teacher

Nicole Mitchell has worked with children and teens for over 20 years in schools and community support agencies. Originally from BC and raised in Calgary, she later returned to BC, where she lived, travelled internationally, and pursued studies in social work and liberal arts. Her passion for supporting youth led her to complete a Bachelor of Education at the University of Calgary, solidifying her commitment to teaching.

At Tanbridge Academy, Nicole teaches ELA and social studies, subjects she loves for the way they invite students to explore diverse human experiences, cultures, and ideas. She is dedicated to fostering curiosity, critical thinking, and strong literacy skills, while encouraging students to reflect, empathize, and see their role in shaping positive change.

Nicole’s classroom is inclusive, supportive, and interactive, celebrating diversity and the unique strengths of every learner. Through collaboration, discussion, and creative projects, she engages students in meaningful learning and empowers them to take ownership of their growth. She values open communication and strong partnerships with families as the foundation of student success.

Beyond the classroom, Nicole finds joy in nature, whether exploring the forests and oceans of Vancouver Island or the Rocky Mountains of Alberta. She is an avid traveller and loves camping, snowboarding, animals, music, and reading. Nicole also treasures time with her two children: a daughter who loves to dance, downhill ski, and is a skilled creative writer, and a son who thrives in soccer, skiing, outdoor adventures, and playing the drums.
