Alicia is conscientious and is making good progress. She enjoys the subject and always puts 100 per cent into sessions.

From Paul
My son George has been receiving tuition from Nicky for c.1 month (1hr session per week). Nicky is tuition George in AS Level History. George has found Nicky to be a great help with his studies.
Nicky took the time to understand George's knowledge level at the beginning, and to understand what his teachers are covering every lesson at school. George has found it particularly helpful that Nicky has given him information that he is not getting at school: for example the situation and events in Italy leading up to the events covered in the AS course. This has helped George to understand the context of what he is studying.
It is obvious Nicky understands the subject he is covering with George, and he is enthusiastic about history. I get the feeling this enthusiasm is, perhaps slowly, rubbing off on George.
I have no hesitation in recommending Nicky.
Update: My son has received his History AS Grade and achieved an A - 100% and 96% in each part of the course, the highest score in History in his school this year. This achievement was made possible because of the tutoring by Nicky - he constantly encourages my son to aim for the highest results, and continually challenges George's knowledge. My son had no hesitation in returning to Nicky for his A2 tutoring. Thank you Nicky.
It continues to be a joy tutoring George. He is very engaged and enthusiastic, I am sure he will have a great experience at University next year.
