I worked with Nicki for almost one academic year for help with my English Literature A-Level, which I completed as a private candidate without any additional support. I think that she is an excellent teacher; her expertise in and love of literature shone through in all our lessons. I really enjoyed them, as they always helped me look at texts in a deeper way from many different perspectives. Her help in developing my essays was extremely valuable and helped me achieve an A* in my mock exam. Overall, I think Nicki is a wonderful, skilled tutor, and I’m very grateful for her support. I highly recommend getting in touch with her if you need any help.

Thanks so much for the lovely comments! It has been brilliant to work with you! Every success in your future endeavours.
Nicki has been working with my daughter who is in year 10. My daughter enjoys the sessions and is now feeling much more confident in how to answer questions in her English Lit GCSE. Nicki is excellent at providing feedback and working with my daughter on the things she needs support on. Thank you!

Many thanks for the feedback -- it's great to see your daughter making such strong progress!
Nicki tutored my son for a couple of years and I feel really glad that we found her! I honestly cannot say enough about how brilliant she was over this time. My son had struggled to engage with education previously and she was patient, intuitive and great at coming alongside him and teaching at a pace and in a way which worked for him. I cannot recommend her highly enough!

Thanks so much for the kind words! I really enjoyed working with your son and seeing him attain grade 8 in English was a joy!
My son has greatly benefited from his GCSE English tutoring. The tutor is knowledgeable, patient, and explains concepts in a way that is easy to understand. Since starting lessons, his confidence in both English Language and English Literature has improved significantly. The sessions are well-organized, engaging, and focused on exam techniques as well as subject knowledge. We are very pleased with his progress and would highly recommend this tutor to any student preparing for their GCSE exams.

Many thanks for your kind comments! Your son was a pleasure to teach and had a really positive approach to learning!
Nicki taught my son English - he took his GCSE 2 years ago. He went from Grade 3 to Grade 7 in English Language and received an award for the most improved in his year from the English department! Needless to say when my daughter was in need of help we asked Nicki again – my daughter's school tests and mocks have been consistently improving. She's gained confidence and I've no doubt that all of this is due to Nicki, I fully expect my daughter to do well in her GCSE too. Not only have we seen the improvements in grades, but Nicki is patient and calm, extremely knowledgeable and both my children got on very well with her, which hasn't always been the case with tutors. I highly recommend Nicki, she's the perfect tutor!

Many thanks for the lovely feedback. It was a pleasure to teach Harrison and see his confidence develop!
Nicki has just started helping my son in Year 10 with his English GCSE work, not a subject that he has a great deal of enthusiasm for. However, in just a couple of lessons, her calm, sensible approach, excellent knowledge, and creative teaching skills have made a significant impact on his learning experience. Nicki has started to change the way that he sees the subject but also and maybe more importantly, the way he sees himself and his own capabilities. We are so happy we have found such excellent support for our son in his learning journey. Many thanks Nicki!

Thanks so much, Vanessa! It's always wonderful to get positive feedback like this, and it's a pleasure to be able to help! Nicki
Nicola was an excellent tutor and gave me much greater confidence in my language ability. She approaches tutoring in a constructive way which taught me to think for myself and look at concepts from different perspectives. She reminded me to try and love what I was learning which made the already stressful process of A Levels much more enjoyable. I felt confident going into my exams and would highly recommend Nicola to anyone looking for help with their exams. -Sophie.
