Thank you Nicky

Nicky has been brilliant with my son. She has been tutoring him for a year after his grades in GCSE English kept dropping. We have seen great improvement in his grades and his confidence in that time and he enjoys the lessons too. She has helped him understand the topics he found tricky, like unseen poetry but has also been really good at explaining the structure of questions and exam technique. She also has lots of helpful resources he has used and he has made progress which would have never happened if we hadn't had her help.

Nicky tutored our daughter to give some additional support to get her through her English GCSEs. A fantastic tutor, clearly highly experienced, patient, professional and understanding with a great understanding of the individual student's needs. Highly recommended. Thanks Nicky!

Nicky is extremely knowledgeable and professional in her approach

She helped by daughter improve 2 grades during lockdown, which was a difficult time for my daughter, which Nicky tackled very sensitively.

I would highly recommend Nicky for English.

She gave help for my son to prepare GCSE English for over half an year.
He got 8/8 final score thanks to her.
Highly recommend her and her ability to guide students.

Nicky has been an excellent tutor, taking the time at the outset to establish exactly what was needed and then tailor the sessions accordingly as they progressed. The sessions were really useful and targeted the more technical areas of English, which helped develop confidence in the subject. Nicky has also provided advice regarding the curriculum when required. I would highly recommend Nicky.

Nicky is very friendly, supportive and kind. Great at explaining things. I’m currently studying a level English language and have had a few sessions with her and already seen my results change and improvements in mocks. I would definitely recommend her

Update- came back to update my review on here because with Nicky's help I went from a D/E level during my mocks to an A in my final English language a level exam. Still amazed!

Nicky tutored my niece from August to November 2020. She had achieved a Grade 3 in English 3 times and after one to one lessons with Nicky twice a week she passed in November 2020 with a Grade 6! Nicky managed to increase Charlottes confidence and show her just what she was capable of achieving. A really great result so thank you so much. You won't find a more enthusiastic and approachable tutor.

Nicky tutored my daughter for A Level English from the beginning of her second year of her A Level studies. They very quickly established a rapport. Nicky was supportive, flexible and provided excellent tutoring focussing on areas of development agreed between the two of them. Nicky’s tutoring not only helped with my daughter’s academic progress but also improved her confidence in her ability in the subject. Nicky was flexible in her approach and happy to re-arrange her regular teaching slot if necessary and had time available. Overall this was an excellent experience and I would highly recommend Nicky as a tutor.

Nicky has been great for our daughter, she has given her confidence and grown her English skills measurably. English has now become one of her favourite subjects, which is amazing. We are very grateful for your help, I would highly recommend Nicky and especially appreciate your flexibility!

Highly recommended. Having tutored my son in GCSE English language and English literature for the last two years, it has been wonderful to see him grow in confidence over this time. You have taught him to better understand the texts, interpret questions and to put together an answer and his exam technique has improved considerably. The lessons were focused and engaging and it isn't easy to engage a teenage boy!
Thank you so much Nicky.

Nicky has assisted our son to progress through his English Language and Literature GCSEs, during her tutoring he has improved 3 grades in each subject. A careful approach took our son back through some of the basics, at this stage Nicky identified areas that could be improved and carefully boosted learning in these areas. This teaching installed a confidence that then continued to build through his English courseworks and mock exams. Having Nicky as a tutor for English for your son / daughter can only succeed.

Nicky has been great with our GCSE year daughter. She has been reliable and also extremely flexible. Nicky has an in-depth knowledge of her subject and communicates it with a passion which is infectious. Our daughter has really enjoyed learning with Nicky, where as previously she found English extremely stressful and lacked confidence. Thank you Nicky for all you have done.

Nicky assisted my daughter in her re-takes of her English GCSE's.
We found her to be very professional, knowledgeable and she interacted with our daughter very well. Also, her handouts were very useful for revision.
We cannot recommend her enough for how she helped our daughter.

Nicky has proved to be an ideal tutor for our son, and has done an excellent job in preparing him for English GCSE. She really communicates her enthusiasm about the subject, and her in-depth knowledge of the course has enabled our son to make steady progress throughout the year. She had a good rapport with our son, and seems to understand teenagers very well.

Was very helpful for my A level coursework that I was having trouble with for a long time, explained things in a lot more depth compared to how my teacher normally does.

We are really impressed with Nicky. She has approached our children’s learning individual learning challenges intuitively and proactively and they both like her immensely. Nicky has a warm and accessible demeanour that works very well with our pre-GCSE year son and daughter. Recommended.

Nicky provided invaluable tutoring support and guidance in the run up to my daughters A Level English exams. She was patient, calm, extremely good at explaining high level and detailed concepts and theories and extremely knowledgeable and experienced in her subject specialisms as well as being great at building confidence in my daughter in her exam prep techniques and approaches. Nicky was flexible in accommodating as many session as possible for us over an 8 week period and certainly boosted my daughter confidence in her subject knowledge and herself to all her to do her best in her exams. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend Nicky for tutoring support!

Nicky has been working with me on my English Language and Literature GCSEs for the past few months and it has been extremely useful - I went from getting only a couple marks for my essays to full marks based on her advice! I now feel a lot more confident with my work and would reccomend Nicky to anybody looking for a friendly, flexible and knowledgeable tutor.

Nicky has made a real difference to James performance in English and he is now so much more confident as he approaches the new format GCSE exams next month. Much of this has been about learning exam technique but Nicky's enthusiam for her subject is infectious and this has rekindled James interest in words and literature more generally. I am sure this will help him to achieve better results across the whole range of essay based subjects. Thank you Nicky!

We have been very pleased with Nicky she is always punctual and committed to her Tutoring. Our year 10 daughter finds her easy to get along with and certainly feels she is benefitting from the Tutoring sessions. We would definitely recommend her.

Nicky has been helping my sixteen year old son work towards the newly formatted AQA GCSE English Language exam due for examination June 2017. I have seen my son grow in confidence and ability in the short time we have be seeing Nicky.
As an examiner herself Nicky has been able to help my son with much needed technique on how best to deal with the new exam structure.
Quote of the day " If only we had found Nicky earlier Mum then maybe I would get an A grade ".
We can't rate Nicky highly enough !

Nicky's approach to the tutoring in the way everything is discussed and explained, means the sessions are very thorough, interesting and really fun. We are most grateful to Nicky for the advice given and the tutoring provided. We would highly recommend her.

Nicky has evaluated and worked with my 14 yr old son to support and make ground in English. Matthew has improved and feels much more confident in his ability. He is working to a higher standard and now understands what he needs to do, the content he has to put in; to answer questions properly. Nicky is a warm and lovely lady. Very happy parents and son.

We have found Nicky to be helpful, friendly and inspiring. We are in no doubt that she will have a huge influence in the upcoming GCSE English grades.
