Nicole graduated from the University of Hull with a First-Class Honours Degree, Postgraduate Certificate in Research Training, and PhD in Philosophy. She is also currently studying towards an Executive MBA in Senior Leadership at the University of Sheffield. Owing to her strong A-level results, she began her undergraduate studies with a merit-based scholarship. Her interests were varied; alongside her focus on analytic and continental philosophy she studied modules in physics and astrophysics, achieving first-class grades in both. Following on from her BA degree, Nicole secured a fully-funded doctoral position. During this time, she acted as a Forum Coordinator for the White Rose Philosophy Postgraduate Forum where she organised and chaired workshops across the Yorkshire region. In addition, she was a Research Associate of the Institute of Applied Ethics and presented work locally and nationally, including being invited as a speaker to the University of Nottingham’s Pragmatism Conference Series.

Nicole’s tutoring experience consists of working as a Graduate Teaching Assistant at the University of Hull. Utilising innovative teaching techniques, she incorporated “study skills” sessions into her undergraduate tutorials, which were specifically targeted at improving students’ academic writing and performance. Further to this, her experience of one-to-one and group tuition includes acting as a mentor to undergraduate students and assisting with Level 1 and 2 courses on English, Information Technology, and Employability Skills for school leavers and adults. This combination of advanced qualifications and work experience means that Nicole is the first port of call for personable and professional university tuition and academic writing advice.
