Nicola

I have worked in communications for over 20 years, as a journalist for The Guardian, a communications manager for charities and a freelance editor.

I have an MA in Creative and Life Writing from Goldsmiths and a diploma from the London School of Journalism.

I am 53, live in London and fostered two children, one of whom is now at university.

Tutoring Experience

I have been a writer and communicator throughout my career. As well as being a journalist for The Guardian, I have had communications roles for not for profit organisations.

I also own an online business, have promoted it on television and radio and won a business start-up award.

Tutoring Approach

I offer conversation classes on topics such as politics, business, culture, sport, travel - I am happy to cover subjects that interest you. I speak Queen's English, so can help with your accent and pronunciation.

As a professional writer and editor, I can also help with your written English, correcting grammar, spelling and use of language.

My approach is friendly, relaxed and interactive.
