Nikki

Hi, I’m Nikki - a highly educated and empathetic tutor with a genuine passion for helping students grow in confidence and ability.

I moved to London when I was ten years old and had to adapt quickly to a brand-new education system. I wasn’t naturally top of the class - but with the right support, I turned things around. I went from struggling to thrive, eventually becoming Head Girl at my school, achieving straight As and A*s at GCSE and A-Level, and going on to earn three degrees: a BA from the University of Exeter, an MA from King’s College London, and a second MA in Journalism from City, University of London.

I know first-hand how life-changing a supportive tutor can be - I wouldn’t be where I am today without the encouragement and belief of the people who helped me along the way. That’s the approach I now bring to every one of my lessons.

Whether I’m teaching English to native speakers or supporting non-native learners, I create calm, engaging sessions tailored to the individual. I work with children and adults - helping with everything from grammar and writing skills to conversational English and homework help. My focus is always to build clarity, confidence and a sense of achievement - no matter your starting point.

Tutoring Experience

My experience includes running hands-on after-school sessions with The Inventors for primary pupils, and leading my own club in school where I taught younger students about the world through storytelling and laughter. I bring that same energy into tutoring: sessions that are supportive, engaging and tailored to each learner.

Tutoring Approach

Whether we’re building confidence with phonics, learning how to describe your day in English, or preparing for school exams, I always adapt my approach to the student’s needs. I like to make lessons feel calm, positive and practical - with plenty of real-world examples and encouragement along the way.

I’d love to help you or your child feel more confident using English - both inside and outside the classroom!
