About the tutor

My name is Nikita, I have a Bachelor of Arts degree in English and Psychology.

I have almost 6 years of experience in tutoring and teaching. I worked as a board certified junior ABA therapist for autistic children and that experience shaped and changed my views on teaching.

I am passionate about teaching and tutoring as I believe knowledge and education empowers people.

My favourite quote is one from the film- Dead Poets Society- “I always thought the idea of education was to learn to think for yourself”


I have 6 years of tutoring and teaching experience. I have been teaching at Cambridge Online Academy for over a year and it has been the greatest experience. I have learnt different methods and techniques of teaching through the school as well as through my training with The TEFL Academy. I teach students based on their needs and personality; if students are shy or anxious, I work with them to overcome that, as I believe confidence is key. Students work well and learn better if they are confident in their abilities. This is what I strive for; to instil confidence in my students so that they are able to learn any skill.


Students learn in various ways, some students prefer auditory learning, and other students prefer learning with visual aids. I cater to each student's specific needs. Book a trial lesson with me so that we can discuss your goals.
