I am System Test Engineer by day but I enjoy tutoring English, knitting and yoga in my free time. I also love to read. I am a big fan of Stephen King.
Me as a Teacher
I am very patient and prepared. I am more than willing to help students at any stage of their journey to learning English. I like to use articles, poetry and deep questions to get my students talking. If there is a special topic you would like to use to get started in our conversations, please do let me know.
I will not teach you slang or swear words. I also do not engage students in any conversations that are defamatory to any groups (religious, racial or otherwise).
My lessons & teaching style

If this is your first lesson with me, please book no more than 30 minutes. We need to establish what you are looking for and if we are a good match.
Please note if you are late to the lesson without notice I will wait for you for 5 minutes. After this period no refunds will be given.

Great session again! I love the way Nickie keeps the discussion going by talking about so many interesting topics. It creates an atmosphere in which I learn easily and remember more clearly the corrections she makes. Thanks a ton :)

I thank you for the interesting lesson (I'm sure, from today I'll use the word "fine" with more attention), I truly appreciate all exercises you suggest me and step by step, thanks your teaching, I feel myself a bit more confident in english. (I know.. I've a lot of work to do but I never give-up).

Nice lesson with Nickie, i'm so happy to share Nickie my happy thing and unhappy thing for this week. She is patient and considerate to listen what i'm saying. We also did Synonym Exercise which helps me learn some vocabularies in oral English. So sad Nickie would be on vacation next month, i would miss you very much !! Anyway, i wish you have the time to focus and the thing that you really want to achieve and make progress. I will also try hard on my English study.

Another great lesson with Nickie. She is very kind and the lesson was so interesting ! Her approach and perspective of the poem’s themes we were studying are very refreshing and relevant. Nickie helped me a lot !
