About Ashley
Ashley Nutt, a Tullahoma native and University of Alabama graduate, has been passionate about language learning for nearly 30 years. She began her teaching career at Lincoln County High School before transitioning to a different educational setting—her dance studio—where she spent 14 years as an instructor while also mentoring and tutoring students in Spanish.
After selling her business, Ashley returned to education, creating a homeschool Spanish learning program that served numerous families in the Tullahoma, TN area. She later accepted a teaching position at Coffee County High School, where she has spent the past six years.
During her tenure at Coffee County, Ashley has been recognized as Teacher of the Year three times, earned a master’s degree in Curriculum and Instruction, and is currently completing her doctorate in Educational Leadership. Her teaching style helped students thrive, and several earned the prestigious State Seal of Biliteracy while under her instruction.
With experience teaching students of all ages, from toddlers to adults, Ashley is dedicated to fostering a love for learning. She finds joy in empowering others, building connections within her community, and creating meaningful learning experiences in a supportive environment.
