Ex History Teacher and Examiner, Currently Pupil Support in an Edinburgh school but still passionate about History.

Nicola is a very honesty person who is also straight to the point. I find this a good trait to have as a tutor as you know their aim will be to help people and get them to where they need to be. Nicola is also very approachable and easy to speak to.

I was lucky enough to have Miss Nicola O'Neil as my A level History tutor. She is exceptionally passionate and committed to sharing knowledge of the subject with her students, this enthusiasm and hard work is nothing but contagious. Miss O’Neil believed in my potential, academically and personally, even when I struggled to believe it myself. She sets expectations for all her students and pushes them to dream big. While our lessons were interesting and engaging, Miss O’Neil did not just prepare us for exam day, but equipped us with the skills and work ethnic necessary to thrive in future academia and beyond. In her words - “shoot for the moon, even if you miss, you’ll land amongst the stars”.

She was my history teacher during my A levels, and was the single best teacher I have had. She is dedicated, enthusiastic, and excellent at explaining complex topics as well as what is expected of you in exams. She is the reason I built up my confidence and ended up succeeding in my A levels, as well as my inspiration when it came to applying for a degree. The skills she taught me gave me a strong advantage over many of my coursemates during my undergraduate, especially when it came to analysing sources and knowing how to write a concise and efficient essay.
