My name is Nicole Gould and I am thrilled to work with your children at the Sullivan middle school.

I began teaching in 1998 when I joined the Peace Corps. I spent two years teaching English in a high school and running a summer camp in Cape Verde, West Africa. When I returned to the United States, I was hired in Lowell and I have been here ever since. I absolutely love my job, especially this year! Working with the newcomers to this country gives me great joy. I have found them to be extremely motivated to learn and full of curiosity. I am so excited to watch their English improve this year!

I speak Spanish, English, and Cape Verdean Creole (although it has been MANY  years since I have had an opportunity to practice Creole). Please don’t ever hesitate to reach out to me with questions, concerns, or just to check-in. Where there’s a will, there’s a way and language will not be a barrier for us to converse about your student. I am here to help, and I know that together we can ensure that your child has a successful year!
