Reviews from others

“She is extremely helpful and very kind and understanding. She makes learning seem fun and makes me feel engaged with the work. ”

“Nicola is such a great teacher and smart person! She knew pretty well what she was talking about and her ability to teach is incredible. I would definitely take classes with her again, I have no doubts after her classes, she adjusts to everything I ask and helps me with different resources, even providing me with questions to practice my exam. We didn't have a lot of time but it seemed to be enough and she also helped me to see this subject in an easier way! She has fulfilled my expectations.”
