An amazing Maths tutor. I have received outstanding support for my personal statement, interview … More practice and the Sixth Term Examination Paper (STEP). She gives good explanations and she’s clearly very intelligent in her field. STEP is too difficult for most of my teachers so it was nice to have someone that could teach it very well. I have received an offer from Cambridge University and I don’t think I would’ve done it without her. I would highly recommend.

Nicole's interview preparation sessions were incredibly useful. She always chose the perfect … More difficulty of questions to ensure that I was always being challenged, but also gave small hints when needed, which meant that every question played out as if it was being asked in an actual interview. This meant that by the time I had my actual interviews, I was already very comfortable with being presented with scary looking questions and confident when explaining my thought process to my interviewers.Outside of the sessions, Nicole was always happy to answer any questions which I had which I found really helpful and she was even kind enough to check over a paper which I had done in my own time which I was incredibly grateful for as I thought I was being too lenient with my marking.All in all, Nicole is a brilliant maths tutor whose enjoyment of tutoring is unmistakable, and I cannot recommend her enough!

Nicole was amazing at getting me ready for my Cambridge interview, making me feel confident … More and prepared. She is super patient and knowledgeable and was also available in between sessions to message if I was stuck on a question from my school. Highly recommend for anyone thinking about sitting an admission test, prepping for an interview or just wanting an extra boost with understanding any A Level content. Thank you for all your help, Nicole!
