Nikki has been brilliant about taking time to understand the issues and work out how best to tackle them. My daughter looks forward to the sessions, and that’s a great sign.
Thank you so much, Helen. I appreciate such kind words.
From Rachel
We sought help from Nikki when our son was still predicted a level 3 in English Language in January. She has worked with my son since then. From the very first session he has engaged with her. Nikki was able to quickly able to identify the help he needed and has unlocked his knowledge and helped him with strategies and planning to answer GCSE questions. He has gone into his exams feeling confident and knowing how to tackle the questions. NIkki is always very well prepared, on time, polite, friendly and positive. She is extremely experienced and because of this was quickly able to identify what was needed and help my son very effectively. I would highly recommend.
That’s very kind… Thank you so much. An honour to work with such a smashing lad.
From Daniela
I engaged Nikki's services to help prepare my 11 year old daughter for 11+ entrance exams in English writing and English comprehension to independent schools in Surrey. Nikki quickly ascertained Natalya's level of skill and gaps/deficiencies in her learning, and worked on building it up. He tutoring style is engaging and varied, using visual stimuli, word games, discussions and exam paper work. Her love of her subject is infectious. Her approach is structured, tackling new concepts and techniques (including exam technique) at each session. My daughter positively looked forward to her sessions with Nikki and, by the end, was enjoying working through the exam past papers. My daughter has since succeeded in securing a place at one of the schools we were aiming for which is ultimate testament to Nikki's hard work. Thank you, Nikki!
Thank you for such kind words. It’s been an honour to watch your daughter blossom as a student, and as a young person making her way in the world. Thanks again! Keep in touch x

From Arabella
Nikki was literally fantastic! Our son is dyslexic and can therefore be a bit reluctant to study English. Nikki prepared and tailored his lessons to his interests before each lesson. He was engaged and came out of the lessons buzzing! She has a wonderful engaging personality that he loved. She was thorough, professional and we saw excellent progress. thank you Nikki!
How kind of you, Arabella. Thank you so much for that… Very proud of what he achieved in just a handful of lessons.

From Emma
We have just had a couple of lessons now with Nikki and my son who was very shy at the start and would hardly participate he is now managing to engage fully and looks forward to his tuition. I am feeling confident about further lessons as Nikki seems a bubbly and vivacious person which is essential I think in holding my sons interest!
How kind of you, Emma - thank you. A year on, it's been wonderful to see how much your son has flourished.
From Anna
Nikki I want to thank you again for your support with Our daughter after such a negative response from school with her illness and being behind she has been so much more confident in herself and positive. She has regained her monentum and positiveness and had been positive in her attitude towards her exams you have been amazing and she has handled them so much better than we imagined. She has completed her exams and she has been positive and uplifted with your exam techniques not just in revision or the way you approach study and learning but in your relaxation and memory methods. thank you again for everything. You are highly comendable and a sought after professional with skills that schools are missing. For this I would employ you tomorrow to tutor my 4 year old if I could.

From Cathy
Excellent. Nikki's approach to my son Cameron, who is autistic, aged 22 ( currently attending UCA's graphic design course), is second to none. Nikki constantly goes the extra mile and Cameron's imagination and written work has improved dramatically since his time spent with her. I can thoroughly and wholeheartedly recommend Nikki with no hesitation. Cathy Allport
Thank you for your kind words, Cathy. It's a pleasure to support such a positive, inspiring young man such as Cameron.
