grounded in care.
Connect with Nikki
At Centrepoint Education, I support learners of all ages with focused, personalised, and thoughtful educational guidance.
Whether I’m working one-to-one with a child through primary tuition, delivering mindfulness programs in schools, supporting transition from primary to secondary, working with college students on their study skills or helping adults grow their confidence in English, my approach is always calm, clear, and grounded in experience.
I’m a Cambridge University UK-trained, internationally experienced educator with a PGDE, CELTA, dyslexia support training and certification from the Mindfulness in Schools Project (MiSP). I have worked as a primary teacher and an Additional Support for Learning practitioner for longer than I’d care to admit and I believe in creating spaces where learners feel safe, seen, and capable — so they can make real, lasting progress.

Testimonals
“Nikki has been an incredible support for our son, Alex. He needed help with English comprehension and her lessons have made a huge difference.
Alex is now achieving an A in English and we couldn’t be happier with his progress.
Thank you, Nikki, for providing exactly the help he needed!”

Moreover, the learning process was fun while also being structured and flexible when needed.”
Adult English Learner
“Nikki has been exceptional. Her approach has been perfectly tailored to our children’s needs.
She has been an incredible teacher and resource. Her expertise, compassion and empathy have been invaluable and we’ve seen remarkable progress in their confidence and academic abilities.”
Core Skills Primary Parent
“ The difference in my son is incredible. The school is very impressed. Not only has he improved academically, his attitude and confidence has dramatically increased.
He loves his sessions with Nikki. They have fun but clearly work extremely hard. Nikki sets homework if required. She works with each individual child and makes sure the work is of interest to them. My son is able to select the topics they study which makes a big difference. She is easy to contact, very accessible and works around you.
I would absolutely recommend Nikki for your child without hesitation. We will be continuing with Nikki for as long as she is available.
She is such a worthwhile investment into your child's future.
Entrance Exams Remote Learning Parent
“Both of my daughters have demonstrated increased confidence in themselves academically and they are willing to take risks they previously would’ve avoided.
I’ve also seen significant improvement in their academic abilities, particularly in grasping concepts that previously seemed out of reach.
We are forever grateful to Nikki for her dedication and hard work. She truly goes above and beyond and we highly recommend her to any family seeking a supportive and effective tutor”.
