"Nichola taught our daughter in Year 4. Our daughter was a quiet, shy and reserved child, Nichola very quickly identified this and used her enthusiasm for educating to really get through to her. In turn, we saw a confidence and enjoyment in learning from her that has carried on to this day - she remembers Nichola, fondly, as her teacher.  She would, without fail, arrive home each evening with a story about Mrs I'Anson that she wanted to tell us, usually something that had made her laugh.  But behind this was an attention to detail that showed the love, care, professionalism and enjoyment that Nichola was imparting to all the students in her class. We have never heard anything other than positive reviews from students about Nichola.  Any child would be lucky to be taught by her."   Parent

"The lessons with Nichola were fun and she taught me lots that I had struggled with at school as she made it relevant to me and how I learn. I went in to my ISEB exams the most confident I could because I knew I was prepared."

Year 6 pupil
"My daughter was really inspired after her GCSE revision lessons and came away from each lesson with a renewed interest in the subject. Nichola also supplied fantastic resources too, which she found invaluable."

"When I was preparing for my Year 6 SATS, Nichola really helped me to become much more confident with my maths and I now feel like I can do lots more."

"Nichola has been a genuine find!  Our Year 5 son was becoming convinced that maths was not for him.  With her energy, sense of fun, love for the subject, and personal interest in how he learns, he has come on leaps and bounds in maths.  He is bringing home increasingly excellent maths scores, but more importantly, feeling engaged and confident in the subject.  We cannot be more impressed, or grateful."
Parent of Year 5 Pupil
"Nichola is bright, energetic and organised. She had our 10 year old son engaged from the get go and is able to tailor his maths tuition exactly to his needs. He looks forward to lessons and it works brilliantly online. Very pleased to have found Nichola."

"I can't thank you enough for your brilliant teaching, encouragement and support in the process of getting our daughter in to St Helen's and St Katharine's. You helped prepare her so well and most importantly you gave her the confidence to believe she could do it. From stylistic help on creative writing to tips on how to slow down and really read the question, your help has been invaluable. Thank you so very much."

"Nichola did an incredible job helping our y4 daughter and y6 son at village primary school prepare for 9+ and 11+ independent school assessments with 1:1 tutoring. She stretched them with their strengths and supported them in their weaker areas whilst making the lessons fun and often seem like a game. She was inspiring, positive and encouraging throughout. She also helped us as parents with choice of schools and supported us all with the assessment process including exam preparation and interview practice. Our kids have now accepted places at their first choice schools, SHSK and Abingdon. We would not hesitate to recommend Nichola to others going through a similar process."
