Nicole graduated from the University of Hull with a First-Class Honours Degree, Postgraduate Certificate in Research Training, and PhD in Philosophy. She is currently studying towards an Executive MBA in Senior Leadership at the University of Sheffield.

Nicole has worked as a professional proofreader for more than 3 years and specialises in helping ESL students, particularly those studying in the UK from China. She also has experience of copy-editing and offering consultancy to a wide range of businesses.

Nicole’s tutoring experience consists of working as a private tutor since graduating with her PhD. She has worked with university students at all levels and across all disciplines. 

Prior to this, she worked 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.
