Nick has completely transformed my son’s relationship with English.

He went from dreading the subject to genuinely enjoying it, and his confidence has grown immeasurably. Nick’s feedback is detailed, his teaching style is motivating, and he explains things in a way that finally makes sense. The results speak for themselves — from a predicted 5 to achieving an 8 in his GCSEs. We couldn’t recommend him highly enough.
