English and History Tutor Avis 

Nicola is caring and understanding with all of her students, and has helped me to feel so much more confident in English, and find methods that work for me. I will forever be grateful for all of her help!

My daughter is finding the sessions enjoyable and engaging, which is the best way to learn!

Highly recommended! Nicola has achieved what I thought might be impossible in engaging and inspiring T in both English and History. T went from loathing both to considering them interesting and ‘almost fun’ (which is high praise indeed from T!). Nicola has a way of encouraging T and pushing her to achieve more without any stress or discomfort which is so important. T enjoys talking to Nicola and expressing her opinions during class, something she found very difficult previously. So, yes, highly recommended!

Nicola is a warm and motivating tutor who has raised confidence and delivered top results for all three of my children for English and History.

Nicola really helped my daughter gain confidence in herself to attempt all aspects of the curriculum. Her communication to parents was also detailed and informative.

Nicola has tutored both our children through History A-levels. Both children have different strengths and different needs and Nicola has helped both to achieve their potential.
Nicola is knowledgeable and targeted weaknesses to improve skills for A-levels and beyond. She is a pleasure to deal with and encouraging, caring, patient and professional.

Wonderful caring tutor.
Nicola has tutored all three of my children. My older son, who is neurodiverse started with her in year 10 . She was amazingly patient with him, even when he was sending her extra work to be marked right up to the night before his GCSE! He achieved a Grade 9 although the school predicted a Grade 6. She also helped him with History running up to his GCSE, where he was also awarded a 9.
Nicola is patient and always chats to the children too so they feel comfortable and confident with her - she always gives feedback on how they are doing. She is accommodating with timings and lessons where possible and ran lectures for the parents coming up to GCSEs to see how best to support the children.
Can thoroughly recommend her.

Nicola is an excellent tutor. She takes genuine interest in her students and keeps thinking of ways to improve and enhance their learning.

Nicola has been an amazingly calm, supportive and positive guiding force in helping my daughter get to grips with her English Language and Literature GCSEs. My daughter has a significant language disorder which obviously makes studying English supremely difficult despite her underlying ability but, with Nicola’s steady support over the last year, my daughter has really grown in confidence and skill.
Regardless of grade achieved in the exams it is wonderful to see the progress that has been made. This progress has been great but it is the growth in my daughter’s self-esteem regarding English study that I value the most.
Thank you Nicola!

Nicola has been a great help to my daughter during the lead up to her GCSE’s. I would absolutely recommend her!

Nicola has been a godsend for our son. She quickly built a great relationship with him and has enabled him to grow in confidence - moving from school refuser to being able to pass GCSEs and consider heading to college in less than two years.
She has great subject knowledge and is positive and kind, supporting students to become more independent and able to challenge themselves.
She comes highly recommended! Thank you, Nicola!

Nicola is an extremely friendly and approachable tutor. She is very experienced and professional and engaged naturally with my son, who is on the autistic spectrum.

Nicola was an absolute life saver for my sons GCSE's. She is very positive and a fantastic teacher who gave my son such confidence. She is an excellent teacher and knows the syllabus backwards, teaching my son in history and english. My son has always hated english and after being taught by her first the first time he said it made sense. I would highly recommend Nicola.

Nicola is a great tutor - she is clear, calm and very detailed taking a child back to basics to fully understand the concept of English Language. I would highly recommend Nicola.

Nicola is very supportive, knowledgeable and uses technology effectively to support the history teaching. We are very happy.

Excellent Tutor. Helpful, responsive and adaptable.

My 14 year old son really looks forward to his lessons with Nicola. She is encouraging, organised and clear in what she asks of him. She understands his needs and has an excellent level of subject expertise. Knowing that she has experience of examining is very reassuring in these uncertain times, also.

Nicola took my anxious & sad mock grade 2 GCSE history graded daughter to a grade 7 in 3 months. I sat in with some of the lessons whilst cooking tea & found that I love history too. It’s never history that’s boring, it’s only the teacher. Nicola is a perfect teacher who is knowledgable & so enthusiastic about her subject that anyone will learn & love it too.

Nicola is an amazing tutor. Not only has she increased my confidence with English A-Level but her lessons challenged me in a healthy way that helped me realise how I could improve my responses to all of my texts. She also provided a lot of resources that help with revision and enrich my knowledge on the texts. Nicola has helped me improve massively in a stress-free, stimulating manner which I am very grateful for.
