Chase Nordman

Chase Nordman spent over a decade in public school classrooms, teaching everything from languages to life skills, and learning just as much from the students as they learned from him. With a Bachelor's degree in Languages and a Master's in Teaching, Chase has studied how kids think, speak, and respond. But it wasn’t theory that shaped his practice. It was the daily trial and error of real teaching, where the right words at the right time could change everything.

Now working as a private tutor and certified studio teacher on film and television sets, he has built a career around knowing what young people need to hear and how to say it in a way that sticks.

Chase is obsessed with communication, connection, and the craft of teaching. Talk Like a Teacher is his field guide for anyone who works with kids. It’s packed with the kind of language that builds trust, restores focus, and turns hard moments into teachable ones. More than anything, it’s about showing up with the words that matter.
