Experience
I have been tutoring since 2006 and have vast experience of both teaching one-to-one and teaching student groups. Within this time I have taught a large number of students in the London area with outstanding results. My specialist subject is Economics and I am able to teach this from A-Level/IB Level right up to postgraduate level including very specialised topics such as Econometrics. I am also experienced in tutoring Business Studies, Maths and Statistics. My exceptional teaching abilities were recognised in the academic year 2009/10, when I was given an award of Teaching Excellence at the University of Nottingham.

Personal Approach
My approach to tuition is simple – highly engaging lessons encouraging interaction with a focus on real life application and of course getting the highest marks possible.

'Studying with Nik for my retake exams was an exciting and fast-paced experience. With his vast awareness in current economic affairs, he constantly challenged me to think outside the box throughout my preparation for the IB exams. Despite the short amount of time that we faced, he kept me positive and goal oriented and thus we were able to cover a 2 year IB Economics HL syllabus in as little as 3 months. The result was an improvement from a grade 4 to a grade 7.'
