NickMe as a Teacher
I am a trained IELTS speaking examiner and I am experienced in preparing people for the speaking and writing parts of the test.
I teach general English and prepare lessons that respond to your needs and requests. My lessons & teaching style
My aim is to get YOU speaking (or writing - you choose!) as much as possible, with my input and support. In this way, you can practice the language we're studying. I give you feedback on this, and that's how you improve!
To find out if you like my teaching style, I think the best way is to book a trial lesson and meet me. I look forward to helping you learn English!My teaching material

I'm taking a proofreading class in which Nick and I go through my MA essay. Nick is helpful. He not only fixes my errors, but he also revises my sentences for clarity and formality, and raises questions to encourage me to think critically. He is the best EAP tutor you may ever have. Highly recommend!

In my lessons with Nick, we have interesting conversations about all sorts of things: travel destinations, literature, song lyrics, films, British culture and much more. Nick has a great sense of which vocabulary is helpful for me, so that I am well supported on my way to become more natural and authentic in the English language. Thanks a bunch!
