What do Nick’s students say?

Andrea, from Spain

Beatriz, from Spain

Before I started taking English classes with Nick, I found it difficult to have free time to study English and learn more daily vocabulary. I used the same vocabulary every day, and struggled to interact with work colleagues.

Since I started my English classes, I am feeling more confident with my English. Nick corrects and explain how to say the things properly and I have learnt a lot of vocabulary. Our conversations have given me more knowledge and also confidence when I express myself. Nick is nice and polite, the classes pass fast and in the end he shares all in writing with the explanation (grammar, vocabulary, ways to say things etc..) of everything done during the class. I would advice anyone interested in improving their English to start ASAP with Nick 🙂

Benedetta, from Italy

Nick helped me to prepare for the Cambridge C1 Advanced Exam in group lessons and one-to-one lessons. Nick is, above all, professional, competent, precise, and helpful. Lessons with him are also fun because he is a spirited person whom you can discuss a wide range of topics with, which shows that he teaches with passion and a great readiness to help. I highly recommend him!

Amanda, from Spain

I’ve been taking one-to-one English classes and conversation classes with Nick for a while now, and I believe he is a very committed teacher. He cares about his students’ development and he’s also a nice person. I encourage everyone to participate in his English classes!

Giorgia, from Italy

I was having difficulties with the Writing and Reading IELTS exams. I didn’t know how to complete tasks 1 and 2 of the Writing test and I had problems to find the correct answers for Yes/No/Not Given and Headings in the Reading test. After I followed the classes everything was more clear for both exams and I understood where to improve. The IELTS score I reached after the classes helped me to apply for my Nursing and Midwifery Council PIN number and work as a nurse in UK. Now, my English is more fluent and I extended my vocabulary. I am able to write using synonyms and I now how to write in a professional way.

Nick was very flexible (about time and location) and I managed to book all my lessons in advance. The other thing I liked was the ability he had to understand where I needed help and in which way I could improve. I would advice anyone who is thinking of taking lessons with Nick to stop thinking about it and start as soon as possible!

Francesca, from Italy

Nick is really an excellent teacher. He’s very well prepared, available, and, above all, he is able to quickly understand the level of English and needs of the student, and to structure lessons and tasks according to those needs. I recommend him!

Marisa, from Italy

If you’d like English classes, I highly recommend Nick. I’ve been taking lessons with him for a couple of months to practise conversation and to prepare presentations for work, and he has helped me a lot. He is helpful, kind, and always attentive.

Fabio, from Italy

Nick is a well prepared English teacher, interested in understanding the specific needs of each student, and quick to change the structure of the lessons to respond appropriately to what emerges as most urgent or a priority. He also looks for the subject matter material that applies to the needs of the student in order to focus the lessons on the student’s field of interest/work.

Davide, from Italy

Hi, my name is Davide, and I have been living in the UK for about 4 years. I started taking private English lessons with Nick Swerdlow last year, and I’m thrilled. I was looking for support to improve my English so that I could face the OET (an exam necessary for the nursing qualification in the UK), and by turning to Nick, I can confirm that I have made clear progress in both my logical preparation of the exam and in my general knowledge of English. Nick is a person who is always punctual and available, and who manages to adapt the progression of teaching according to your available time and your needs. Nick also has a good knowledge of Italian, which can facilitate the teaching and explanations of the lessons. To sum it up guys, I highly recommend Nick as a private teacher whatever your current level of English.

    1. Hi Gabriela, thank you very much for getting in touch with me. Activate Your English is actually a 1-to-1 course, aimed at developing the English that you actively use in conversations, helping you to use your English more fully and speak more confidently with other people. It’s a 10 lesson course. Each lesson is 1 hour. In between lessons you receive flashcards to help you to remember new vocabulary from our lessons and homework that encourages you to use the English that you learnt.
      The lessons are conversation-based meaning that you get a lot of practise using your English, and a lot of feedback from me, helping us to learn from the English that we use. The focus of the lessons is you and your experiences, which I think makes the language that we learn more relevant to you and more memorable.

      Does this type of course sound useful to you? Feel free to ask me any more questions that you may have.

      I’m not sure which pages of my website you read, but the main information about the Activate Your English course is available on these webpages
