Why choose
First Step Tuition?

With over a decade of experience as a primary school teacher and three years as an Assistant Headteacher, I am passionate about developing confidence and fostering a love for learning in children. My extensive and varied background in education has equipped me with the skills and insight needed to tailor my approach to each student’s unique needs, ensuring they achieve their full potential. Whether your child needs support in a specific subject or a boost in confidence, I am dedicated to providing high-quality, personalised tutoring that makes learning both effective and enjoyable. 

Nikki really had her work cut out with our family. We had just moved from abroad, entering into a totally new curriculum and our youngest had to skip a year. Thanks to Nikki in just 5 months our daughters (8 and 11) have not only caught up to grade standard here but have developed more confidence than ever before. I think they see her as their pal and have always looked forward to their sessions with Nikki even after a long day at school. She is a fantastic teacher who uses creativity and variety to keep them engaged. We highly recommend Nikki and are so so glad we found her! Any child would be very lucky to have Nikki as their tutor.

Year 4 and Year 7 Parent

Nikki has tutored my daughter in Year 2 for almost a term and we can really see her confidence in the core subjects grow. Nikki provides regular detailed feedback on the lessons as well as identifying gaps in her knowledge. Her insight into the year 2 curriculum is also very valuable to us so we are able to consult her in areas we are unsure of.

Year 2 Parent

Nicole has been tutoring my daughter for the last few weeks. Since Nicole’s tutoring started, I’ve seen the confidence in my daughter grow, particularly with Maths. She no longer requires my help with her Maths homework and is able to complete the tasks she has on her own. Nicole is happy to adapt the learning specifically to what my daughter is studying at school at that time if my daughter is struggling with something. Nicole is friendly, engaging and approachable. My daughter wasn’t keen to start tutoring but since the learning started with Nicole, she always looks forward to her weekly sessions. I would 100% recommend First Step Tuition. My daughter has come on in leaps and bounds and we are very thankful for the confidence Nicole has given our daughter.
