There are tutors and there are tutors. I provide your child with a proven learning journey that begins with assessment and foundation building, moves into curriculum teaching and tapers with exam preparation. Every lesson is planned in detail to match your child, their needs and their place in the learning journey.

After each lesson you’ll receive an overview of the session, explaining what we worked on and how your child got on. Alongside you’ll be given homework and links to resources.

Testimonials

A chance for me to share some words and recommendations from previous families.

We met Nicky several years ago, and she helped our 3-year-old daughter tremendously in preparing for the entrance test to the school we had chosen for her. As a multilingual family, with none of us speaking English as a first or home language — and with the added challenge of Covid — our daughter hadn’t been exposed to English as much as other children her age.
Nicky started coming once a week, and after just 3–4 months, we began to notice real progress. Our daughter became much more confident and started completing tasks more quickly. She also absolutely adored Nicky and looked forward to their lessons every week.
In short, we received an offer from the school we had hoped for, and I truly believe the lessons played a big part in that. We’re incredibly thankful and wish Nicky all the very best!

Our children both loved your one to one tutoring in the comfort of our own home. They said you were amazing, and really helpful. You explained things in a fun way and it made their lessons really exciting! As they both have learning difficulties, you were patient and professional with them and made them feel relaxed. They miss you and are really grateful for all the support you gave them. Thank you.

“R” – London

Nicky was a fantastic tutor for our son who was doing his 11+ a few months ago. She quickly  built up an easy rapport with him and our son genuinely looked forward to their sessions each week. The upshot was that our son went from strength to strength and achieved results with his 11+ that were way beyond our expectations. We feel that Nicky played a huge part in this and cannot recommend her enough!

“S & T” – London

Nicky has been tutoring my children since the ages of 6 and 7 respectively.   Both boys are now in years 3 and 4 and have really improved in their maths and writing skills thanks to Nicky’s guidance and support.  Nicky is engaging and quickly spots each child’s developmental needs and preferred ways of learning; adjusting her teaching techniques to meet the student.  My children have fun learning with her, as she finds opportunities to cement concepts with games and activities that engage the child.  I would recommend Nicky to any parent looking for a bit of extra revision outside school for their children and those who are seeking tutoring for 11+ exams.
