About Nicola
Hi! I'm Nicola, a 22-year-old graduate in English Literature from St John's College, Oxford University. I'm currently studying a law conversion postgraduate course in London as I train to be a solicitor.
At Oxford, I studied a wide range of literature from Old English (c. 650-1350), through major authors including Spenser, Shakespeare, Milton, Dickens, Whitman, Joyce, and many more, up to present-day writers such as Coetzee. I have a special interest in Victorian and Modern literature; in my final year at university, I wrote dissertations on Henry James and Virginia Woolf (marked at 74). I am also passionate about Milton and Shakespeare. As an accomplished musician and composer, I wrote on musical adaptations of Shakespeare's plays and how these influence and interpret the texts.
I can help with any area of literature - poetry, drama, novels etc. - and having successfully completed Oxford admissions and countless exams, I can help students to prepare for these kinds of challenges!
I am a friendly, enthusiastic and articulate person, and I enjoy watching films, being in nature, food, and spending time with my friends. I can teach any age, and currently have experience working with students from ages 11 to 63. If you would like to chat further and let me know what kind of tutoring you are seeking, please do get in touch!

I believe we learn most effectively when studying something we enjoy. Of course, at school, we can't necessarily enjoy every subject required of us. My teaching methods therefore focus on finding the areas most interesting to the student to hook their attention, and trying to use this as a philosophical approach to finding a way into more challenging areas of study. I am passionate about my subjects, which helps my students to find enjoyment in their study. I work methodically to cover any set texts and approaches, but also believe more generalised skills such as close reading and speed reading can be hugely beneficial.
Recommendations

Nicola is an excellent tutor. She is patient and encouraging, whilst also being incredibly engaging. Her style of teaching is highly interactive, which helps foster a mode of critical thinking which is essential for English at all levels. I would recommend her highly.
I asked Nicky to tutor me once a week with playing the piano. I asked Nicky because I was always inspired by her performances in school, her remarkable talent and passion for music. Which if I’m honest as a young girl showed me there was more to school - about having such a talent which helped me grow as a student in other art subjects. I was given constructive feedback each week and was never made to feel like I wouldn’t succeed. The tutoring included reading sheet music, different music eras, types of notes etc.Nicola was patient with you and non judgmental to my ability and taste of music when I first started.I will always remember her for kindness and willingness to help me grow as a musician.
