Hello everyone! I am a TEFL qualified native English teacher from Great Britain. I have over five years of experience teaching English online and I have also spent three years living in Moscow where I worked at a respected language school. On top of this, I have lived and worked in both France and Germany and I love taking the opportunity to travel and meet new people.
I am passionate about learning languages and I can speak both French and German fluently. I am currently trying to improve my level of Russian so I fully understand both the challenges and the rewards that come with learning a language.

Me as a Teacher
I have been teaching professionally both online and in the classroom for over five years to students from B1 level through to advanced and proficency level. I am friendly and patient and will offer you support and encouragement to confidently express yourself in English. I will mainly use the communicative approach working with engaging materials and activities that are interesting to you.
In addition, I have experience in helping students with Cambridge exam preparation and have successfully helped many students pass their PET, FCE, CAE, and CPE exams. I can offer you tips and guidance on all areas of the exams and will work with you on any aspects that you find challenging.
My lessons & teaching style
I will tailor my lessons to suit your language learning goals. I will use a wide range of recent and interesting materials to ensure the lessons are engaging, including videos, exercises, news articles, games, and up-to-date course books.
We will work with and discuss a wide range of topics, which will allow you to expand your vocabulary and be able to use it in context. We can also talk about idioms and commonly used expressions to improve your understanding and fluency.
I can offer clear explanations and examples of grammar points, and provide a range of exercises for you to practice.
Whatever your language learning goal, I can help you to achieve it.

Nichola is a great tutor! She’s kind, friendly and really professional. In addition, she uses a personalised approach. I’m planning to pass a CPE exam, so I have to have not only a good command of English but also know a lot about the structure of the exam. Without a shadow of a doubt, I can say that Nichola is a right person to help me. She patiently answers all my questions, explains everything in detail and gives feedback. Time flies when we’re talking :) Thanks a lot, Nichola!
