Information about Nicholas
[contact detail removed]
Availability: I am free every evening and throughout all weekends in the London area. Dependeing on how far in advance I know, I may also be able to work in the late afternoon too.
I offer tuition at my own flat too.
Willing to travel: 5 miles
Experience: I have worked with children and young people across the board in terms of age and nationality. Since moving to London in September 2012 I have worked with over 30 tutees.
- Throughout school, unviersity and beyond (2006-2012) I tutored school-age children and teenagers. This has meant I now have strong understanding of the German, English and International Baccalaureate systems. Lessons ranged from subject specific courses in English, History, German, Philosophy and Art, to more general tutoring which also saw me coach the kids in time-management, effectively tackling homework and scheduling issues and improving their work ethic. The age range I taught was from 10-18, for both boys and girls.
- 2008-2011 I spent three consecutive summers as an English teaching aid in an eco-friendly kindergarden in Germany during my time at university. Here my responsibilities included drafting constructive, but playful lesson plans to aid the children`s language development generally child-minding the kids in a friendly and educational environment and helping teach the children other skills, such as rudimentary drawing lessons, or kids` philosophy sessions (it never ceases to amaze how profoundly 4 year-olds can thnk!).
- More recently (2011-12) I`ve also coached specific skill sets, such as essay writing, practice for oral examinations and interview technique. As a successful Oxford graduate I have been happy to impart my experience when it comes to UCAS statement writing, subject choice and interview preparation too. Again this saw me work with both boys and girls, English and Germans.
- I have carried charitable engagements in my capacity as an English teacher. This included a two month stint in 2007 at a Tanzanian secondary school where I taught pupils my age and older. Here I mainly wrote up lesson plans and worked with classes in English lessons, but I also helped with IT lessons and biology classes. In my second year at university (2009-2010) I worked with the charity Jacari, which help tutor English to children from deprived immigrant backgrounds.
- In 2011 I spent 5 weeks as business English teaching aide for the Wall Street Institute in Dusseldorf and later worked as a part time English teacher in a small German energy company, meaning that I also have experience working with adults.
In summation, the subjects I am most happy to work with are history, English, politics and philosophy at secondary school age. I will also be willing to tutor conversational and written German. I will gladly offer coaching services for broader areas such as essay writing and interview technique too. But I`m flexible when it comes to subject choice and will take on a different kind of tutoring challenge too.

We are really very hapy to have Nicholas as tutor, He is helping my daughter with her History revision for her A level exams.
I can see that he knows the subject and he came well prepared with documents in his laptop.
