* Imagine going to England and not being asked where you’re from, because you sound so English.
* Imagine the face of a Brit when you tell them you’re not British, despite sounding so.
* Imagine having more speaking confidence at work because you can express yourself with a clearer accent.

Me as a Teacher
I'm Nicky and I’m a native-speaking, born and bred Londoner with a clear London accent.
I’m a British accent and vocal coach with several years experience teaching the British accent, singing/speaking and diction.
My focus is on teaching you the sounds and habits of native speakers in the South East of England, which I have studied and continue to study obsessively.
I teach you the beauty of the lovely ‘Southern’ accent and you'll learn and practise the habits of native speakers that you will NEVER EVER LEARN FROM A BOOK OR YOUTUBE.
You'll receive original practice materials & FREE access to my WEB/MOBILE APP to make practising your new accent part of your everyday life!
My lessons & teaching style
My goal is to help you succeed. There is nothing I enjoy more than hearing students' stories about other people's reactions to their British-sounding accent.
My lessons are dynamic, goal-focused yet fun and relaxed. I am a perfectionist and have a musically trained ear, therefore nothing less than 100% will do. We work until you achieve the perfect sound! As a voice coach, I also teach you how to use your vocal apparatus - essential for a British accent!
My students return to me again and again simply because my method is effective and yields results.
Over 90% of students who take a trial lesson with me go on to take further lessons with me.

I feel so lucky I’ve found Nicola. If you’re looking for a professional and energetic teacher she’s the one.

Should you be eager to brush up your accent, generally reduce your native one or absorb English as it's really spoken or even sung (!) - Nicky is there to help you with that regardless of your current level.
I've been having classes with her for a while and can tell you, my accent(s) improved markedly by all accounts. It came somehow naturally after plateauing at the level, where it's all about subtleties. I'm sure, the magic recipe is to develop right vocal habits natives employ subconsciously. The vision to adopt!
She helped me out with that a lot, being all ears yet picky. Her experience with singing coaching also plays a role here. Having music background myself, I can confirm her ability to grasp also this facet of one's voice.
Should you be familiar with modern linguistics, and with such eminent figures as Dr. Geoff Lindsey in particular, you may have even seen one of his recent (November 2023) videos on YouTube, where Nicky was one of the guests. If not, do check it out!

Today, a guy remarked that I sound very British, prompting me to reflect on my past year with Nicola. She is undoubtedly the finest teacher I've encountered, a professional with a clear program, vision, and understanding of her objectives.
The lessons are extremely efficient. I would say that, overall, pronunciation lessons are a really good idea. You kill two birds with one stone by practicing English while learning about it. Nicky is an ideal instructor to begin this journey with.

Really enjoyed our first class. Nicola is fun to talk to but has a no-nonsense approach to teaching and pointed out what I should work on straight away. I look forward to our next lesson!

I had a great first lesson with Nicky. She assessed what I would need to work on and showed me her training platform that seems really good. We also practiced a sound I have difficulty pronouncing correctly. Thank you!
