Michelle Nicolaou

I have 5 years of teaching experience, both within the school system ,as well as, within the realm of private tutoring where I hone in on my students' needs and reconnect them with a sense of enjoyment and interest when refining their skills within the English Language. I have prepared students for exams ranging from IELTS, to IGCSE and A Levels covering both English Language and English Literature. Whether it's getting into the nitty gritty of grammar, or language analysis in comprehension texts or whether you need help honing your literary thinking and interpretations, I'll be right there supporting you and helping you find a way to properly articulate your thinking. I help students 'hack' exams by finding simple and effective ways to fulfil task requirements and creating fun and engaging ways of remembering material. I also teach crucial essay writing skills and how to create layered and rich arguments or interpretations. Lastly, I have experience with mentoring young people with creative writing- so if you're interested in storytelling, writing your own poetry and experimenting with language, I will help you bring out your personal style and work with you to exercise your creative capacity.

Book a trial lesson with me where we can have a chat about your personal goals and what you're seeking to achieve. We can map out what is most urgent to focus on and build a learning plan that will be effective but also keep you engaged for the duration of your learning. We'll get to know each other and see if we're a good fit.
