Professional writer, editor and proofreader, teaches spelling, grammar, punctuation and sentence structure, to adults who want to improve their written English. No jargon, and no judging.

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.
