teachers.forEach(teacher => {
console.log(teacher.name);
if (teacher.name === 'Nick') {
console.log(teacher.rating);
break;
}
});
break;
^^^^^
SyntaxError: Illegal break statement

It would be helpful to print out all your code when you have a question.
From what I can see I would try switching => to >=.

I hope this is helpful.

Switch
or if you want to do it without a break you could use a
While loop.
