"Education is the most powerful weapon we can use to change the world." - Nelson Mandela 

My name is Corey Nordike and I am a 2014 graduate from Southern Illinois University Edwardsville.  I graduated from SIUE with a Bachelor of Science in Geography and a minor in Political Science.  I also received my elementary teaching certificate from the American Board for Certification of Teacher Excellence.  I obtained my Special Reading Certification and Master's of Education degree from UMSL. 

I am very adventurous and love to travel.  A few things I have accomplished:  volunteered for AmeriCorps, studied abroad in Ireland, worked as an Emergency Medical Technician, licensed real estate broker, taught Pre-K - High School students in Illinois, Florida and Missouri.  I've backpacked through China and taught Chinese students English.  I have a love for learning and a passion for teaching! 

If you ever need to reach me, please do not hesitate to reach out.  E-mail is the best form of communication.  Thank you!
