She regularly incorporates this knowledge into her classes to ensure students maximise their marks.
Hear from our Chemistry Students
“Nichola is hands down the best teacher i have seen since i started secondary school. Her knowledge of the exam paper and the detail required is exceptional. The way in which she emphasises certain topics gives the student a crystal clear idea of what is important and what is not. Her notes are again, the best I have ever seen and I have had many notes in many subjects off many different teachers. They are by far the best. Well done and thanks a mil!”
