Words from colleagues who have worked alongside me in school, published with their permission. A full written reference is available on request.

Nicola is one of the most dedicated and caring people I have had the pleasure of working with. She goes above and beyond in everything she does, always giving her time, energy, and heart to ensure every child feels valued, supported, and able to succeed. Her kindness, patience, and unwavering focus on each child’s individual needs make a lasting difference, and it’s impossible not to see the positive impact she has on the children and families she works with. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for an exceptional tutor who genuinely cares.

Alison, Head of Key Stage 2, Gloucestershire primary school

Nicola is deeply committed to each and every child she works with and will do her utmost to help them feel included, heard and valued. She is particularly skilled at supporting children who struggle within the classroom environment. Within her Nurture Room, she takes time to understand how each child learns best and adapts support so they can access learning in a way that works for them, using different sensory and practical approaches to help them understand new concepts. She also helps children to recognise and regulate their emotions, using calm, consistent support to help them feel ready to learn. Children feel happy and safe in her company, have fun, and know that clear boundaries are in place to help them feel supported and encouraged.

Laura, teaching colleague, Gloucestershire primary school

[Nicola] is a wonderful teacher and has a special talent for helping children understand difficult concepts. Her kindness and patience helps to settle children so that they can enjoy their learning and make progress in those areas of the curriculum they find difficult.
