Nick has built a quick and easy rapport with my son and after only a few sessions I have noticed my son grow in confidence and begin to enjoy English more. He challenges my son to think deeply but does so in a supportive manner which in turn is helping him to form his own thoughts and opinions about a text.
From Prabha
I started tuition with Nick when I was doing my English Literature GCSE in year 10 and I had just received a grade 3 in my first set of mocks. After being tutored by Nick, I went on to get a grade 7 in both English literature and English language and am now predicted to get an A* at A-level English Literature. Not only have I improved significantly from an academic perspective, but I feel much more confident in debating, thinking critically about a wide range of topics and articulating streams of thought into coherent arguments and ideas. Overall, I would recommend Nick not only to students who are struggling in English, but to anyone who wants to stand out from competition as Nick equips their students with useful skills that you don’t learn in school.
From Emma
My daughter just started tutoring with Nick. It’s been an excellent experience so far . Nick clearly sets out what can be achieved and how they will get there . My daughter and Nick connected immediately and she is very enthusiastic about what is possible working together ! Highly recommend
Thankyou! ❤️
From Denise
Niick is such a knowledgeable and engaging teacher! His ability to add clarity when explaining is exceptional and he's really brought English Literature to life for my daughter. He's really building up her confidence in the subject. To hear her answers in response to questions after only a few lessons is fantastic - she has already made significant progress. I would totally recommend him as a tutor.
From Jacqueline
I highly recommend Nick. He has been tutoring my son in GCSE English for the past three months, during which time I have seen my son's confidence increase and he has rediscovered his enjoyment of this subject. Nick is encouraging and knowledgeable, and he challenges my son (in a supportive, enjoyable and structured way) to do his best. He is now keen to study English at A Level so I can't thank Nick enough!
From Sharon
Nick has managed to rekindle my 14 yr old's enjoyment of English, particularly creative writing and the study of narrative. I feel much more confident now that my son will be able to get through his GCSE English language. He really enjoys Nick's lessons. Well done, Nick!
From Sue
Absolutely brilliant! From the first session, my sons confidence in his own ability started to grow. We have yet to see what the final results are, but just from what my son has said about the exams we are confident that he will do well and this is down to Nick. Nick has a very easy manner about him which instantly put my son at ease. He's very reliable and I wouldn't hesitate to reccomend him… in fact I may well be back in 3 years when my youngest son has GCSE's!
Thank you, Let me know how he does! :) Nick
From Claire
Very enthusiastic and knowledgeable about the subject. Has quickly built up a good rapport with my son. Would recommend.
From Tahir
I have found Nick an excellent English GCSE Tutor for my son: Nick has an excellent knowledge subject, has an amiable and professional approach. Prior to Nicks intervention, my son lacked confidence and would have been satisfied with a C grade. With Nicks help, able to focus in and work on my son’s weak areas and as such has seen dramatic improvement in his written work, my son is now aiming for an A grade within sight.
From Martin
Nick has been helping my daughter with her GCSE English - I would not hesitate to recommend him, he is very personable, extremely knowledgeable about his subject and works hard to tailor his teaching style to the student's needs, Ruth's confidence in English has improved measurably in the 3 months she has been working with Nick
From Alison
Following a significant drop in my daughters AS mock exam results, Nick has worked with her to restore confidence in her ability. He is passionate about the subject and provides helpful, supportive and constructive guidance to improve her studying, understanding and exam technique.Highly recommended.
From Laura
Nick has been and continues to be an outstanding tutor for our daughter who has some learning difficulties and who has faced many problems with English in the past. He is a considerate kind and effective tutor who has given her confidence and enthusiasm for the subject. Many thanks
From Suzanne
Nick is currently assisting my son with his GCSE studies. I only normally catch the last 5-10 minutes of the tutoring but Nicks enthusiasm and knowledge is clear to see. Nick's family are very welcoming also and my son genuinely enjoys his weekly lessons. After 3-4 weeks of lessons my son already has a much greater appreciation of the subject. Nick clearly knows how to engage his students and he also knows what is required to get the results you want to achieve.
From Claire
Nick has been amazing! After just 3 sessions he has given my daughter confidence alongside the knowledge and skills she needed. In 3 weeks she has gone from getting D grades to high B grades. She is more positive and motivated than I've seen her in the past year. Thank you Nick. Would highly recommend Nick as a tutor.
From Anna
Very helpful tutor, helped explain questions and context I had previously not understood. I highly recommend him to anyone who is seeking improvement in their grades.
From Maciej
The best teacher in my live.
Thank you Maciej! (but it's 'life'!) Nick :)

From Mairi
Nick has been absolutely fantastic. He was patient and listened to my problems and issue without judgement and I felt completely comfortable asking him questions and for help. Without his help I doubt I would be off to York University this September! Thank you Nick
From Séarlait
Excellent tutor, after falling behind in my English A-Level lessons, Nick enabled me to complete my exam today with confidence. His teaching style works excellent and I honestly don't think it could've been any better. Thanks Nick!
From Sharon
Nick has been supporting my daughter in her GCSE English Literature and English Language studies. She has always struggled with English with low confidence and little progress (grade U at the end of year 10 Mock exam) Nick replied quickly to my initial email and always replies to texts promptly. He is flexible scheduling lessons, the lessons are well planned and he has worked hard to understand my daughter's needs and learning style. The support he has provided to help her understand the set texts and also with exam techniques has enabled my daughter to achieve a C in her mock taken in March of year 11. This is fantastic progress that would not have been achieved without Nick's one-to-one tuition. She no longer feels defeated by the subject and has a positive attitude as her real exams approach. Thank you Nick!
From Nicki
Nick is warm and friendly and put my son at ease. He knows his stuff and is working with my son to find the best way of teaching/learning for him. Would recommend Nick.
From Damian
