Marycarmen Nieto
6th Grade English
Hello! My name is Ms. Nieto and I am a first-year teacher with a passion for diversity and helping students build valuable skills. I was born and raised in West Los Angeles. I got my bachelor’s degree at the University of California, Merced in 2021 and majored in English. I recently graduated from Pepperdine University with my master’s in teaching! I am a first-generation student and the first person in my family to have a master’s!
During my student-teaching experience, I became the long-term substitute teacher for the class I was in. I taught three 8th-grade ELA classes, Advanced Theater, and Exploration of Theater at Culver City Middle School. I loved the challenge of working with 8th-graders and I’m super excited to be with the 6th-graders this year! I am hoping to find my teacher community here at New West and call this school my home.
