Kevin Nunn
Spring Early College Academy at Lone Star North Harris, Houston, Texas
Student Nomination Story
Mr. Nunn is brilliant teacher who teaches and plans his lessons in a way that is so easy to understand. Mind you, I worried about the subject of Algebra because of its difficulty. However, since having Nunn, my skills have only sharpened. he always tries his best to accommodate our situations (for instance the damage of the Winter Storm and technical issues we first faced last semester). Especially, with the shift into online learning there usually seems to be a disconnection between student and teacher, except in Mr. Nunn’s class. He is the most attentive and caring teacher I have ever met. He plans time into his lessons plans to account for checking on every individual student to make sure they understand the topic or how he can help. There has been times where I didn’t understand a problem that was going on in class and was too nervous to try to ask for help. He noticed and reached out to me to help and offered me more resources and a tutorial session. He supports every student in his classes even going out of his way to hold online afterschool tutorials and exam preps. If there is a teacher who needs to b e appreciated: he is your man!

I used to hear many great things about him from my siblings and how much he helped them. This year I had the pleasure of having him and he has been a great teacher. Very respectful, patient and more than willing to help any student with any matter. He has helped me feel comfortable asking questions in class as well as just feel comfortable in his class.

Mr. Nunn is brilliant teacher, who teaches and plans his lessons in a way that is so easy to understand. Mind you I worried about the subject Algebra because of its difficulty but since having Nunn my skills have only sharpened. He is hearing and reasonably tolerant that he always tries his best to accommodate to our situations (for instance the damage of the Winter Storm and technical issues we first faced last semester).
