Testimonials
Nicky was employed in St George International from 2011 - 2014. In her time at the school she taught a variety of lessons; including General English, Business and IELTS. She taught both groups and individual lessons as well. On relocating to Bristol, she began teaching Skype lessons to our online and Skype students.
Nicky was a very popular teacher, both with her students and colleagues. Her lessons were always student-centred and well-prepared while being interesting and engaging for the students. She has an excellent language awareness and knowledge of how language works. I would recommend Nicky for any student who wants to progress in their English.

I took IELTS exams three times but I had always received 6.5 in writing. A month ago I went to Nicky for help. After two weeks of lessons, I retook the IELTS exam again and received band 7 in writing with overall band 8.0. I am extremely happy and very grateful for Nicky’s help. Her teaching method is excellent; everything was explained very clear, during the lessons and also through feed back of my writings. I would definitely recommend Nicky to my friends and to anyone who is struggling to achieve band 7 IELTS. Thank you so much Nicky for your help.

My name is Vinicius and I am a Doctor doing my MSc here in Manchester. Nicky helped me to develop my English in all aspects. Today I am more confident about my English thanks to her. What I like about her method is that it is organized, objective and you clearly can see your development through the lessons. I definitely recommend her.
Vinicius, Doctor living in Manchester
Nicky has been an amazing English teacher. I contacted her because I wanted to prepare for the CAE exam and I needed help with it. After my first skype lesson, I knew she was going to be great as she was so organised, punctual, clear and constructive the whole time. Her predisposition, positivism and her knowledge make her the right person to help you to achieve your goals, either passing an exam or improving your English. Thanks so much Nicky!!

Moreover, she helped me to deal with the IELTS exam in order to achieve a high score band. I enjoyed her classes, she gave me material every class which was very useful to get my goals. I would strongly recommend her.
Juan Aparicio, Doctor from Colombia
Nicky's lessons are not only about grammar and rules but also about building your confidence as an English speaker. She's very attentive and focused. If you've got any particular areas needed improvement, Nicky'd be happy to provide specific excercises and examples. Her lessons are fun, they're not boring. Apart from being a good teacher, she's also a good motivator! I took her lessons to achieve a particular goal - find a job. And at some point I was sure that she would help me with that 100% and she did!
Anna Slastnikova, Software Engineer from Russia
I´ve never met a teacher like Nicky, she´s simply awesome. I contacted here about 6 months before my FCE exams and I wasn´t confident with my english at all back then. But Nicky made sure that I´m working constantly on my weaknesses, so when I took the exam after that I wasn´t afraid or nervous anymore and I passed the exam with grade A! I would definitely recommend Nicky as a teacher, she´s friendly, easygoing, flexible and her lessons were prepared exactly for what I needed, weren´t boring and gave me a lot. So one more time, thank you so much, without you I wouldn´t make it!
Barbora Vrzackova, Czech Republic
I've had classes with Nicky for a month. I needed to achieve a very high score on IELTS test (band 8-9) and she really helped me getting it! She is a very nice and professional English tutor. She prepares her classes beforehand which helps a lot on working efficiently in class. She corrected my grammar, pronunciation and taught me new vocabulary to use in the IELTS test according to the score I needed.We covered in a month almost all the writing and speaking topics for the exam and we worked deeply on the writing test which was my weakness. I really learnt a lot on how to manage the IELTS test!! We had classes at her place which is very well located, quiet and comfortable. Overall, I strongly recommend her as an English teacher. Thanks a lot Nicky!
Isabel Rodriguez Goncer, Doctor from Spain
I got in contact with Nicky through a friend who already took his lessons for IELTS and got very successful results. I was a bit short in time to get ready for my exam, and Nicky prepared very personalized lessons that we took in the space of 5 weeks. Having already taken IELTS I could tell the difference after Nicky's lessons: my grades improved massively and now I'm eligible for my masters! I recommend you to Nicky, not only because of the quality of her lessons but because of her personality, which makes the whole process very enjoyable. Thank you very much Nicky!
Helena S, Student from Spain
I would love to share my experience of learning English with Nicky. Nicky's class was something I looked forward to. I took Nicky's classes for a year and a half and I learned many things during this time. I can already see improvements in my writing. She was also very helpful on proof reading my work from Uni, even if the architecture and building construction vocabulary made no sense to her!
Nicky is so supportive and encouraging. During the course, I felt willing to work to improve my writing and she always gave feedback. Having class with Nicky was so far the most helpful and useful. She has a special way to teach and offers Skype sessions. We could continue our classes on Skype when she moved up North after a year of teaching me face-to-face.
You'll learn grammar rules, writing styles and how to develop a writing habit. If you are looking to improve your English, Nicky is the best pick!
Tiffany Luk, Student from Hong Kong
Nicky is an amazing teacher. She is nice, supportive and more important, she has a great teaching method. In few lessons she understood what we needed in order to improve our English and she really helped us.
We will never forget her precious lessons.
Antonella and Claudio, Doctors from Italy
Before I contacted Nicky just two months before my IELTS test I wasn't sure if I was gonna be able to meet the criteria for the exam. However she was able to create a package that suited my needs, focusing on the areas that I needed to develop most and helping me to understand the structure of the exam. I would definitely recommend Nicky to anybody who wants to take english classes, Not only because she is an amazing teacher but also because she is a very friendly and easygoing person.
Juan R, Student from Spain
Nicky is a lovely person who holds the english lessons with enormous enthusiasm. I had a couple of english teachers during my studies and I can say that she is one of those who really cares about the student’s demands.
I was preparing for the IELTS academic language exam with Nicky and accomplished the required result (actually a bit more) with the help of her. No doubt, I would recommend her preparing for IELTS exams.
It was a pleasure, thanks Nicky!
