Nick's Feedback

Nick has done an amazing job at reigniting my son's interest in English after some disappointing mock grades and poor teaching at school resulted in him losing confidence and largely switching off. Nick has an infectious love for the subject matter and a very interactive, engaging style. He clearly identifies areas for improvement and is good at building them into strengths and he is always willing to mark additional work and provide more feedback. After a few sessions with Nick, my son who often needs lots of nudging to get school homework fully completed, has completely changed his attitude and has asked to increase the frequency of sessions with Nick. It couldn't have worked out better for us.

Nick has been fantastic! Our son really enjoys the sessions and feels much more positive about his upcoming GCSEs and we have seen some great progress. Thank you, Nick!

Nick is undoubtedly passionate about teaching and drawing the best out of the student and that's what makes Nick an all-round excellent and dedicated tutor!

After getting minimal support from school, I contacted Nick to help my daughter with her university applications. Nick was very quick to respond to my emails, which meant that the coaching sessions could start immediately.

Nick is an excellent and experienced tutor who knew exactly how to help my daughter organise the content and thoughts in her draft personal statement in a structured and cohesive manner, and draw the very best out of her. Nick was also very reassuring as my daughter had been getting quite anxious about her applications. At the end of 3-4 sessions, she was pleased with her final draft as she felt it communicated everything she had wanted to put down without compromising on her "personal voice".

My daughter is also impressed by how knowledgeable, well-read and intelligent Nick is, and she really enjoyed engaging with Nick (he also makes her laugh- great for her nerves!) during their sessions.

I highly recommend Nick, and am happy to report that the offers have started coming in, and so far they have been positive. Thank you so much Nick- you are a star!

Nick has built a quick and easy rapport with my son and after only a few sessions I have noticed my son grow in confidence and begin to enjoy English more. He challenges my son to think deeply but does so in a supportive manner which in turn is helping him to form his own thoughts and opinions about a text.

I started tuition with Nick when I was doing my English Literature GCSE in year 10 and I had just received a grade 3 in my first set of mocks. After being tutored by Nick, I went on to get a grade 7 in both English literature and English language and am now predicted to get an A* at A-level English Literature. Not only have I improved significantly from an academic perspective, but I feel much more confident in debating, thinking critically about a wide range of topics and articulating streams of thought into coherent arguments and ideas. Overall, I would recommend Nick not only to students who are struggling in English, but to anyone who wants to stand out from competition as Nick equips their students with useful skills that you don’t learn in school.

My daughter just started tutoring with Nick. It’s been an excellent experience so far . Nick clearly sets out what can be achieved and how they will get there . My daughter and Nick connected immediately and she is very enthusiastic about what is possible working together ! Highly recommend

Niick is such a knowledgeable and engaging teacher! His ability to add clarity when explaining is exceptional and he's really brought English Literature to life for my daughter. He's really building up her confidence in the subject. To hear her answers in response to questions after only a few lessons is fantastic - she has already made significant progress. I would totally recommend him as a tutor.

I highly recommend Nick. He has been tutoring my son in GCSE English for the past three months, during which time I have seen my son's confidence increase and he has rediscovered his enjoyment of this subject. Nick is encouraging and knowledgeable, and he challenges my son (in a supportive, enjoyable and structured way) to do his best. He is now keen to study English at A Level so I can't thank Nick enough!

Nick has managed to rekindle my 14 yr old's enjoyment of English, particularly creative writing and the study of narrative. I feel much more confident now that my son will be able to get through his GCSE English language. He really enjoys Nick's lessons. Well done, Nick!

Absolutely brilliant! From the first session, my sons confidence in his own ability started to grow. We have yet to see what the final results are, but just from what my son has said about the exams we are confident that he will do well and this is down to Nick. Nick has a very easy manner about him which instantly put my son at ease. He's very reliable and I wouldn't hesitate to reccomend him… in fact I may well be back in 3 years when my youngest son has GCSE's!

Very enthusiastic and knowledgeable about the subject. Has quickly built up a good rapport with my son. Would recommend.

I have found Nick an excellent English GCSE Tutor for my son: Nick has an excellent knowledge subject, has an amiable and professional approach. Prior to Nicks intervention, my son lacked confidence and would have been satisfied with a C grade. With Nicks help, able to focus in and work on my son’s weak areas and as such has seen dramatic improvement in his written work, my son is now aiming for an A grade within sight.

Nick has been helping my daughter with her GCSE English - I would not hesitate to recommend him, he is very personable, extremely knowledgeable about his subject and works hard to tailor his teaching style to the student's needs, Ruth's confidence in English has improved measurably in the 3 months she has been working with Nick

Following a significant drop in my daughters AS mock exam results, Nick has worked with her to restore confidence in her ability. He is passionate about the subject and provides helpful, supportive and constructive guidance to improve her studying, understanding and exam technique.Highly recommended.

Nick has been and continues to be an outstanding tutor for our daughter who has some learning difficulties and who has faced many problems with English in the past. He is a considerate kind and effective tutor who has given her confidence and enthusiasm for the subject. Many thanks

Nick is currently assisting my son with his GCSE studies. I only normally catch the last 5-10 minutes of the tutoring but Nicks enthusiasm and knowledge is clear to see. Nick's family are very welcoming also and my son genuinely enjoys his weekly lessons. After 3-4 weeks of lessons my son already has a much greater appreciation of the subject. Nick clearly knows how to engage his students and he also knows what is required to get the results you want to achieve.

Nick has been amazing! After just 3 sessions he has given my daughter confidence alongside the knowledge and skills she needed. In 3 weeks she has gone from getting D grades to high B grades. She is more positive and motivated than I've seen her in the past year. Thank you Nick. Would highly recommend Nick as a tutor.

Very helpful tutor, helped explain questions and context I had previously not understood. I highly recommend him to anyone who is seeking improvement in their grades.

The best teacher in my live.

Nick has been absolutely fantastic. He was patient and listened to my problems and issue without judgement and I felt completely comfortable asking him questions and for help. Without his help I doubt I would be off to York University this September! Thank you Nick

Excellent tutor, after falling behind in my English A-Level lessons, Nick enabled me to complete my exam today with confidence. His teaching style works excellent and I honestly don't think it could've been any better. Thanks Nick!

Nick has been supporting my daughter in her GCSE English Literature and English Language studies. She has always struggled with English with low confidence and little progress (grade U at the end of year 10 Mock exam) Nick replied quickly to my initial email and always replies to texts promptly. He is flexible scheduling lessons, the lessons are well planned and he has worked hard to understand my daughter's needs and learning style. The support he has provided to help her understand the set texts and also with exam techniques has enabled my daughter to achieve a C in her mock taken in March of year 11. This is fantastic progress that would not have been achieved without Nick's one-to-one tuition. She no longer feels defeated by the subject and has a positive attitude as her real exams approach. Thank you Nick!

Nick is warm and friendly and put my son at ease. He knows his stuff and is working with my son to find the best way of teaching/learning for him. Would recommend Nick.

I have found Nick to be a very engaging and understanding tutor who has been a great help for me while studying for my English GCSE's.Many Thanks!
