Nicole Kim

Nicole (she/they) graduated from Brown University with Bachelor’s degrees in English Literature and Ethnic Studies, receiving Honors in Ethnic Studies for her senior thesis on contemporary poet Ocean Vuong. During her time at Brown, she was heavily involved with programming at the Brown Center for Students of Color and served as a staff writer and section editor at The College Hill Independent. Her piece “Imagining Indigenous Futures: The Fight to Save the West Berkeley Shellmound” received the Barbara Banks Brodsky Prize in Real World Writing from the Department of English.

Nicole has tutored undergraduate students in academic writing for three years as a Writing Fellow and is practiced in anti-racist and accessible pedagogies of teaching writing. As a writing and reading instructor, she is dedicated to empowering students to exercise agency in their writing process and express their thinking with clarity, precision, and conviction. Furthermore, she strives to break down systemic and institutional barriers that prevent students of marginalized identities from flourishing in English classrooms.

As a coach at Connect To Learn, Nicole is excited to foster spaces for students to grow as readers, writers, and learners. She hopes to build meaningful relationships with students that will positively impact their academic journeys.
