About Nicola
I run my own editorial consultancy, and have worked with words for more than 25 years; in my spare time I am a blogger and student of Forensic Linguistics. I'm hugely passionate about our beautiful English language and how we use it, but I also realise that learning English at school may not have been ideal for everyone: we're all different. I would love to help adults who now feel the time is right for them to polish things up a bit. Punctuation and grammar is nowhere near as difficult as school made it seem, and as a native English speaker, you deserve to be confident in writing your own language. Whether it's for work, pleasure, or to get yourself ready for that novel you've been promising to write, I'll help you get your writing to where you want it to be. I have a straightforward approach, and will take things at whatever pace is necessary.

If you're an adult who struggles with punctuation and grammar, if you would like to polish your writing skills, and learn how to structure fabulous sentences that really get your point across, I can help. English is the most wonderful language, and if you want to use it more confidently, I can get you there. Lessons will be relaxed, light-hearted, and driven by common sense. I have plenty of tricks up my sleeve to help you learn quickly, and to help you put what you've learnt into practice. I'm new to tutoring, so if you're nervous about contacting me, that makes two of us. Let's do this together!!

Having known Nicola for many years and admired her writing and broadcasting, I can testify that she is a highly qualified perfectionist and has a natural desire to help others experience the joy of creativity. Recommended.
Nic is a superb communicator with excellent spoken and written English. She has a passion for language and linguistics. Nic provided me with editorial help in the past, evidencing a great skill set and a deep understanding of the English language. Nic is blessed with compassion and a ton of common sense. I'd have no hesitation recommending her as a tutor.
This wonderful lady with a great sense of humour is the absolute Queen of the English language. I've been reading her online content for many years now and her grammar skills are second to none.
Nicola knows how to listen. She’s deeply empathic and encouraging. In the short time I’ve known her she helped me to navigate some difficult life challenges with a great sense of humour and a deep insight into what makes people tick. It’s a rare skill to be able to help other people find their voice. She has that skill.
Helping people to communicate with confidence through writing , especially if that’s something people have struggled with, requires a sensitivity that is rare. Nicola has this skill. She knows how to bring your confidence back. I’d highly recommend her.
Needed help with several passages for a History dissertation I'm doing at Uni. I'm a native English speaker but can always use help refining my grammar, especially the punctation - when to use and when not to, etc. Nicola exceeded expectations and sprinkled some kind of magic fairy dust over my work. It's like I didn't notice that it was wrong until I read the new version! And FWIW I checked to see if they were using AI. Came back 100% human. Also, I tried 'improving' my passages in chatgpt and it came back basically worse than when I started. That's actually when I reached out to Nicola!
Having used the services of Nicola in the past, she was insightful, helpful and very approachable. She’s a warm hearted, honest person and her experience is invaluable. She really helped me shape a novel I was working on and with her knowledge and support it actually gave me a better understanding of where I was going wrong. I would not hesitate in recommending Nicola.
