First year John Nidzgorski teaches math at Westford Academy. Nidzgorski chose teaching as a profession due to his experiences as a Sunday school teacher and coaching his daughters on their basketball teams.

“I really liked that [coaching] and ever since that I had an inkling to [teach]”

Nidzgorski has had many teachers in his life, but one that stands out the most is his high school geometry teacher. Nidzgorski loved the way he taught and used him as a role model for how he teaches today. While math is his passion Nidzgorski strives to become a girls basketball coach, something that he enjoys doing.

Previously a teacher at Nashua South High School, Nidzgorski has been teaching for six years.

“ I think that students down here are more academically focused,” Nidzgorski says about the student body at Westford Academy.

While Nidzgorski thinks that Westford Academy is more academically focused he lives for student success. His favorite aspect of teaching is the student that he teaches.

“ Definitely the students… when I know they have understood something…and I know they get it.” Nidzgorski comments about teaching.

While Nidzgorski teaches he also is a residential and commercial contractor. He has been doing residential contracting for five years while he has more experience in commercial, 15 years.

Nidzgorski sees himself in twenty years to be here and he hopes he will land a coaching job with the girls’ basketball team. For now, Nidzgorski said he will spend his first year getting more acquainted with Westford Academy.
