Hi, I’m Nick. I’m an English language teacher with over 20 years’ experience, specialising in IELTS speaking preparation. I’ve worked with a wide range of learners, helping them improve the clarity and effectiveness of their spoken English. I’m a former IELTS speaking examiner, and I’ve worked for organisations including the British Council, International House, and the University of Sheffield. I also hold a Master’s degree in Applied Linguistics, as well as CELTA and DELTA qualifications. Alongside teaching, I create a free IELTS podcast where I share practical insights into common problems and how to approach the test more effectively.

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!

Nick is an excellent teacher! The lessons are interesting and varied, he always adapts to my language level and needs. I enjoy the lessons, so the learning time passes very quickly.

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!

Nick is a kind and nice teacher. We talked about lots of strategies to help me improve my listening and speaking skills in the classes, which is really helpful. Don’t hesitate to book a lesson.

Another excellent English conversation with Nick, in which we talked about interesting topics, I gained some new insights into British culture, and Nick polished my English in a helpful way.
