Nikki is a respected member of our tutor community. She is highly recommended for her commitment and the quality of her lessons. An excellent choice to progress with confidence.
About Nikki
I am a PhD-qualified biologist and currently teach GCSE and A-Level Biology in an FE college, alongside BTEC Level 3 Applied Science.
I help students who feel stuck, overwhelmed or unsure how to improve their Biology grade. My teaching style is calm, friendly and structured: I break difficult concepts into clear steps, help students see how topics connect, and then practise applying that understanding to exam-style questions.
As a college teacher, I design my own course, lesson and revision materials from scratch, allowing me to tailor sessions to each student's knowledge gaps, exam board and goals.
I can help with:
Difficult Biology topics and concepts
Exam technique and answering questions for maximum marks
Identifying and closing knowledge gaps
Revision planning and organisation
Building confidence
Before moving into teaching, I spent over 10 years working in biological research and the biotechnology industry, so I can also help students see how the Biology they learn connects to real science.
I teach GCSE Biology, A-Level Biology and BTEC Level 3 Applied Science/Biology, and can also support undergraduate students in cell and molecular biology.
About the lesson
- All Levels

All languages in which the lesson is available :
English
In my lessons, I:
• Break down complex topics into simple, clear steps
• Use structured explanations and diagrams
• Link concepts so they are easier to understand and remember
• Focus on exam technique and how marks are awarded
• Encourage questions and build confidence
Students are welcome to send topics, questions or exam papers in advance so sessions are focused and productive.
Recommendations
Recommendations come from relatives, friends and acquaintances of the teacher
Nikki came to carry out a PhD in my research group in 2012. Her passion for biological, medical and therapeutic research and healthcare challenges was evident throughout her PhD, and she was heavily involved in outreach and teaching in areas surrounding her interests and specialisms, showing her desire to educate and inspire the next generation of potential scientists and researchers. Her biological skill and knowledge is exceptional, and she also built up skills in other areas such as physics and mechanics.
Nicola mentored me during my PhD for around two years. In addition to her deep knowledge, I found her to be extremely patient, warm, reliable, and an excellent communicator with the ability to explain complex concepts clearly.
Nikki is an amazing teacher who is very patient and knowledgable. I learned so much in my time with her that i’ve been able to apply elsewhere with confidence. I highly recommend Nikki as she really cares about your learning experience and puts a lot of effort in to ensure you understand the content and makes it fun at the same time!
Nicola is a family friend who I approached to be my tutor for GCSE biology. The thing that I liked best about her teaching methods was her clear explanations and willingness to try and explain things in a different way if I still didn’t understand the topic. I found our study sessions to be enjoyable and extremely helpful in securing the grade I wanted for GCSE. I can’t recommend her highly enough.

Details
My hourly rate includes personalised lesson planning, tailored explanations and follow-up support where helpful. Each session is designed around the student’s specific goals, exam board and learning style.
I offer a free first lesson so we can get to know each other, discuss the student’s goals, identify areas of difficulty and create a clear plan for improvement. This also helps students feel comfortable before committing to regular sessions.
For students who would like ongoing support, discounted lesson packs are available. These are ideal for students preparing for GCSE or A-Level exams, or those who want structured support over a longer period to build confidence and strong understanding in biology.
Lessons can be delivered online or in-person. I am happy to work at the students home or a mutually convenient spot e.g. college, library. My travel time is free within 10 miles of Hutton, beyond this area incurs a £10 travel fee.
