Nicola provided me with great tuition, and was extremely flexible for my pacific needs. I would strongly recommend her.
I strongly recommend Nicola to everyone. I had group lessons with her. These lessons were full of interesting topics. Grammar explanation was fantastic. The atmosphere was always amazing. She is definitely one of my best English teachers.
I have known Nicola for about two years. She is a great tutor. She explains everything clearly giving lots of examples. Moreover, she always pay attention to what I say and work with me at particular issues. Nicola is patient, very motivational and understanding. I enjoy every lesson with her.
I was Nicola's student at Kingston college for ESOL entry 3. I think Nicola Bamford is a one of the best English teacher that I ever had and also she is kind and patient for every student. She was great and supportive teacher. She uses a humorous way to teach . It is easy to understand .
Nicola is my home tutor for English language. I'm having twice a week session with her and she was brilliant. My English speaking was really bad before until I have her as my private tutor. I can guarantee she will be an asset to any student.
