About Me
Since moving into teaching I have authored 5 GCSE textbooks with an A-level textbook due for publication in March 2024 and 2 more being published in September 2024. The most important thing from your tutor is that they know the subject they are teaching inside out, so I can offer particular expertise in several history modules having produced books for them. My core area of experise is modern history.
I graduated from the University of Bath with a 2:1 in Economics and Politics and completed a Masters degree in Modern History at Canterbury Christchurch University gaining a distinction.
I spent several years in the corporate world before moving into teaching. I have taught in both the state and private sector and was most recently teaching history at an independent school in Hampshire.
Tutor Experience
I was recently teaching history and economics in an independent school teaching at both GCSE and A-level.
The most important thing from your tutor is their depth of subject knowledge so I can offer real expertise in a number of GCSE and A-level modules having written several school textbooks across 6 different topics.

Client Reviews
Nick has been an outstanding tutor for Nico. He has gone from failing his mocks to History being the subject he does best in. Nick has found all the extra time Nico needs leading g up to his exams and is always generous with his time. Nick advised that Nico study a few topics more than his school was covering to give him for leeway in questions. Thank goodness for Nick’s advice! Nico just sat Paper I and says he would have probably lost about 15 marks had it not been for Nick’s advice.

Nicholas has been a fantastic tutor to our GCSE bound 16 year old. From a failing grade in his summer mocks to getting a 7 in his autumn mock exam Nick has managed to completely turn around his trajectory and give him confidence. Nicholas focused on making sure the subject matter basics are covered and then does lots of exam technique teaching. We are relieved and our 16 year old is now motivated to do well and chuffed with his progress. Thank you Nicholas!
Karin - History
Nick improves my learning by not immediately telling me when I've made a mistake but in asking me questions so that I eventually realise how I've gone wrong. It helps me remember things that way.
Karin - History
Great class. Nick has deep knowledge and wants to share it.
Karin - History
Once we got the technical issue sorted, Nick’s class was amazing. He was deeply empathetic; got to know N.; assessed his knowledge all while keeping N. engaged.
Karin - History
We loved our session with Nicholas. He was generous with his time, listened well and answered our questions thoughtfully. He has now also offered us a session with Nico in attendance to gauge his level and intelligence prior to putting a plan of action in place. Nicholas encourages parents to be present at this session prior to making a decision. The study guide extracts Nicholas has written and shared with us are also interesting and insightful. We feel we will be retaining an expert historian who can also teach to the level a 15 year old can understand and look forward to pursuing our journey with Nicholas.
