About Nikki
I am an undergraduate student at the University of Cambridge, with experience in applying for History, Politics and Economics related degrees.
I currently have a 100% A* rate at A-level for my tutees. I teach via Socratic dialogue and typically pitch my lessons at a higher level than the qualification a student is undertaking eg. Undergraduate level English for A-level English. I will therefore be challenging students to the best of their abilities, but will, of course, cater to the individual needs of each and every student at all levels.
Having achieved between 95-100% (top grades 9s) in History and English at GCSE and 3 A*s in A-level History, English & Politics and an A in A-level Maths, I aspire to:
- Ensure students are maximising their potential.
- Inspire confidence in students.
- Sharpen conceptual knowledge.
- Strengthen essay structure and exam technique.
- Share my valuable insights on achieving top grades at GCSE and A-level.
