About Nick
I have a First Class degree in English from the University of Cambridge and a PGCE from King's College London, where I also recently completed a Masters in Shakespeare Studies. My results-focused tuition style is built around developing exam technique with practice and concise feedback.
I have extensive experience of securing outstanding results at GCSE and A Level. I am particularly passionate about teaching Shakespeare and poetry, but relish teaching all manner of texts and at most educational levels.
As an English teacher, I have over four years of successful experience in comprehensive London secondary schools (both mixed and single sex), where my focus was GCSE and A Level English (both Language and Literature; AQA and Edexcel). My work as an A Level examiner also helps me to demystify the process of taking exams and how they are marked for students.
As a tutor I have many hours of experience working with a range of students from those studying for their 7+ and 11+ entrance exams up to students working on their A Level coursework and university dissertations. I have worked for prestigious London tutoring firms, including Harrison Allen and De Silva Tutors, but this is definitely the best place to find me.
I am approachable, friendly and always build good relationships with my students. My greatest passion as a teacher and tutor is to help young people from all walks of life and backgrounds to achieve their full potential.
I am primarily an online tutor, where I find that digital tools such as shared whiteboards and texts provide the best learning experience. This means that I can support students from anywhere in the UK and around the world, but for those students in my local area I am more than happy to come to you.
I have been tutoring online now for many years using primarily Google Meet, Google Classroom and Zoom. This allows for quick access to my wide-ranging portfolio of learning resources (examples can be found below), and also exam-board past papers, mark schemes and commentaries.
Following our lessons, I always make digital copies of resources that we have used, lesson whiteboards or any extra material that we have covered available to students, parents and/or guardians. Through Google Classroom, students are also able to communicate particular priorities or areas of focus to me, or simply ask questions.
If you're looking for sustainable improvement in English, to hone your exam technique or receive feedback on an essay or dissertation then please do get in touch and let's see if we can work together towards your goals.

Perfect! Friendly and experienced tutor
I got in touch with Nick for english tutoring sessions for my brother. Nick was very helpful and arranged sessions promptly. My brother enjoyed Nick’s lessons and his lessons were tailored towards exam preparation. Nick signposted to other useful resources and his sessions were very engaging. Throughout the whole process, Nick communicated with us effectively which was useful for regular updates. I recommend him highly.
