“As a student who often struggled to pay attention in school, Nicole made art enjoyable to learn and she definitely made a positive difference for me as I still do a lot of art now. I enjoyed her lessons and remember much of what I’d learnt many years later. A genuinely lovely person with a lot of patience, and a great sense of humour which made her such a great teacher.”

What People Are Saying

 

“I had Nicole for year 9 art and I have her to thank for my continued interest today, having completed art at GCSE, A-Level and Foundation Diploma. As a teacher Nicole was so supportive, helping me to think outside the box and consider new skills. Her lessons were really fun, full of laughter and encouragement, even with challenging students. Nicole’s classroom gave me confidence when I needed it the most.”

“Nicole was the most supportive teacher I have met in a very long time. Her gentle and welcoming manner meant that as a parent I was never worried about contacting her to discuss any concerns. Ask her about her ‘two stars and a wish’ approach for student feedback, which is a strategy I have since adopted and now successfully teach onto others! Brilliant idea which meant her students remained motivated and focussed on any tasks set. I just wish as a parent that we had more teachers like her.”

“Art class was always my favourite lesson at school and that was down to one of the most friendly, kindest and knowledgeable teachers – Nicole. I don’t know where to begin with the help and support and freedom that I was given by Nicole to discover my art, and still to this day her teaching has helped me throughout all aspects of my life, and I still use the skills she taught me to this day. She is a great teacher and a lovely person who always has your best interests at heart.”
