About Niki
I'm a native English speaker from Hertfordshire, located between London and Cambridge. Since 2005 I've taught English as a foreign language in England, Spain and Malta, and I’ve also taught online through various platforms since 2010. I have a lot of patience, and I'm passionate about helping my students build their confidence, enabling them to reach their full potential. I always look forward to meeting new students and learning all about them, their countries and their different cultures. It’s very rewarding for me when I see my students make good progress within a short timeframe.
When I was at university I started learning Spanish, so I appreciate how difficult it is to learn a new language as an adult. I’ve taught students from all over the world, and I’m especially experienced in teaching Spanish speakers after living and working in Valencia for 4 years. I’ve also worked with many German, French, Italian, Russian, Polish and South Korean speakers, so I have extensive knowledge of their particular problems when trying to learn English.
I have a Tourism Management degree from the University of Hertfordshire, and in 2009 I completed the Cambridge DELTA (Diploma in English Language Teaching to Adults) qualification at International House in Seville, Spain, with a specialism in teaching business English. One year later I was awarded a distinction for the FTBE (Further Certificate for Teachers of Business English) from the London Chamber of Commerce and Industry.
Throughout my career I’ve worked with students of all abilities, and with business professionals from a wide range of industries. Additionally, I have given webinars and workshops on presentation skills, and I’ve run various teacher training courses on methodology and ICT.
When I’m not working, I enjoy hiking in the countryside, going to concerts, cooking my favourite recipes, meeting up with friends in a restaurant, or just relaxing at home with my cat.

Do you want to communicate in English more fluently and accurately? Would you like to improve your language skills quickly within a limited time? I can help you to understand native speakers better, expand your range of active vocabulary, boost your confidence when socialising and travelling, and enable you to communicate more professionally in formal situations.
My lessons are all tailor-made according to your own specific needs and interests. You can choose to focus on a range of skills and topics including fluency, pronunciation, travel, intercultural competences, current affairs, negotiating, giving presentations, or writing emails and essays. The lessons last for 60 or 90 minutes, and I ensure they are challenging but also enjoyable, enabling you to improve your level within a short time.
My students tell me that my lessons are fun, memorable and well-structured. They also mention that I’ve helped them to feel more confident communicating in English, and that I’ve taught them how to think in English.
Review
All of our reviews are collected by us and are 100% reliable. They correspond to a real experience lived by students with Niki.
Perfect! Just after the first lesson with Niki, I immediately realised she is the right fit for me and for my English goals. I’ve always wanted to be taught by someone with the level of expertise of a DELTA-qualified teacher, and she absolutely delivers. She is also very nice, fun, and intelligent, which makes the lessons both effective and enjoyable. I can’t wait for our next lessons.
- It's been a real pleasure working with Simon. He's very motivated to achieve his goals, and after only 2 lessons, he's already managed to improve his accuracy, particularly with regards to using definite and indefinite articles. We worked together to set some objectives, and the next lessons will focus on further improving accuracy, expanding range of active vocabulary, and also developing speaking and writing skills in order to achieve a C2 level.Niki's response :
Perfect! Niki is super nice tutor, she is very friendly and very professional and reliable. Kids quite enjoy for her lessons. Appreciate Niki’s help.
- Ryan has a high level of English and speaks very well. He would like to improve his reading skills, comprehension and creative writing.Niki's response :

I worked with Niki for 2 years at ETI (Executive Training Institute) in Malta, where I managed a team of English and Business English Trainers. Niki is highly experienced and was a valuable and popular member of the team. She is extremely professional at all times, organised, has a great work ethic and is very popular with her students.
I would highly recommend Niki to future employers and wish her all the best.
Rupert SwansonNiki and I worked together in the past, and I was impressed by her teaching skills and professionalism.
She's particularly skilled at teaching Spanish speakers, having spent a few years teaching in Spain.
Additionally, Niki is able to quickly assess any students' needs and provide exactly what they require to improve. Her lessons are a great blend of informative and interesting, ensuring that her students stay engaged while learning.
Having worked with Niki for over three years I have no hesitation what's so ever in recommending Niki for any English language course. As a very capable teacher I found her to be thorough in her preparation as well as quickly building a rapport with her students whatever the level. She proved to be a conscientious listener when it came to meeting the needs of her students.
I am not sure where to begin because my stay at Niki's house was fantastic. She's a great host as well as a wonderful teacher. Thanks to Business Language Academy Malta, I speak English fluently. I heartily advise you to do so. I also enjoyed staying Gozo. It is quite simple to travel anywhere.
It's not every day that you stumble upon a gem like Niki, but I was fortunate enough to do just that during an adventurous hike. What started as a chance encounter blossomed into a friendship grounded in mutual respect and shared interests. It is from this perspective of friend and student that I wholeheartedly recommend Niki as an English tutor on Superprof.
Niki's teaching style is a rare blend of professionalism and personal touch, characterized by her quintessentially English sense of humor. Her irony and wit not only make learning enjoyable but also memorable, ensuring that the lessons stick with you long after they're over.
Choosing Niki as your tutor means embarking on a learning journey where education transcends the conventional. It's an experience where growth and enjoyment go hand in hand, facilitated by a native English speaker with vast experience. Whether you're looking to improve your English skills, understand the nuances of the language, or simply enjoy the company of a knowledgeable and entertaining teacher, Niki is the perfect choice.
I recommend Niki for her unique blend of professionalism, humor, and kindness not only makes learning effective but also transforms it into a delightful experience. Trust me, learning English with Niki is not just an education; it's a journey you'll look forward to every step of the way.I have worked with Niki at a language school for a number of years and she is highly skilled and passionate about her teaching. Always helpful and patient, a true professional.
Niki plays a big role in the way I communicate in English. Her methods are outstanding and allows you learn English very fast. In addition, she is an extremely nice and friendly person. Her classes are so much fun that you actually don't notice you are in school. She corrects your mistakes in a way, that you will remember forever (for example on the beach we stay in the shade and not shadow ;-) )
I decided to take an English course because during the years I’ve lost the knowledge of the language that I’ve learnt at school. I told Niki my goals and she managed for me a personalised planning; through her help I could resume the basic concepts of the grammar and did practise with speaking, listening and expanded my vocabulary. Anyway the most important thing is the feeling to be more confident without the fear of making mistakes. Definitely a teacher recommend :)
