About Nick
With over 13 years in the civil engineering industry—leading infrastructure projects in road, rail, airports, and bridges—I bring practical expertise to every lesson.
I’ve spent 20+ years teaching in UK colleges and universities, including 12 years as a Principal Lecturer in Civil Engineering at a top UK university. I hold a Master’s in Digital Education (2023), ensuring my online teaching is modern, effective, and engaging. I have an Enhanced DBS Certificate.
I’m a married father of two, with a Portuguese wife and a speedy (and very cute) lurcher dog. I’m passionate about helping others grow—whether through engineering, coaching, or teaching. Outside of work, I enjoy hockey, cycling, tennis, padel, and travelling to explore new cultures and cuisines.

Perfect! Nick is very experienced and able to distill complex and technical engineering challenges into practical, real-world solutions. Thank you again for sharing your knowledge
- I've had the pleasure of mentoring Ken through SuperProf as part of his ongoing professional development in civil engineering. As a practicing engineer, he brings a strong foundation to our sessions, and has shown a genuine commitment to expanding his knowledge in areas where his experience has been more limited.Nick's response :
From the outset, his communication has been clear, thoughtful, and proactive. He approaches each topic with curiosity and diligence, never hesitating to ask insightful questions when concepts require further clarification — a quality that speaks volumes about his dedication to mastering the subject matter.
He has responded particularly well to visual learning resources, which are invaluable in civil engineering where interpreting 3D structures from 2D drawings is a core skill. His ability to engage with these materials and apply them to real-world contexts has been impressive.
Overall, working with Ken has been a rewarding experience. His professionalism, eagerness to learn, and collaborative spirit make him a standout mentee, and I look forward to continuing our work together.

As an international student I can truly say that Nick is one of the best and patient teacher I’ve ever met. Always available and willing to help and listen. Im graduated since 2020, and still have good memories about Nick. I wish all the best.
I studied Civil Engineering at NTU from 2018 to 2021, and I found Nick to be the most engaging lecturer I encountered during my studies. He taught the Civil Engineering Design Projects module, and his enthusiasm and passion for both civil engineering and the subject matter were evident. His energy in the classroom was lively and motivating, which helped me stay eager to learn despite the difficulties I faced in understanding some concepts.
I recall giving presentations during my first year as part of this module. Nick had a unique way of encouraging students to question their own work in a constructive manner, prompting us to reflect on whether our ideas and statements were accurate. This approach inspired me to improve my work and develop my critical thinking skills.
What made Nick particularly memorable was the personal example he shared about his own career—specifically, that he was one of the engineers who worked on the DLR at Canning Town station in Newham, the area where I grew up. Hearing about his background and professional experiences motivated me to aspire to become the kind of engineer he is: one who works with both enthusiasm and passion.Without Nick I would have really struggled in my BSc Civil Engineering at NTU!
