Stressed, overwhelmed, anxious about exams…
Works hard but doesn't know where to start
Revises but nothing seems to stick
Loses confidence as exams get closer
Struggles to manage the volume of work
Does this sound like your child?
Schools teach what to learn.
Rarely how.
When students learn how to organise their thinking, manage their workload and make information stick, everything changes.
I know this world from both sides…
As a teacher for over 30 years and a mum who watched her own son struggle with the demands of studying, I understand how frustrating it can feel when a bright, hardworking student just can't seem to make things stick.
My Masters research into visual and spatial strategies for memory gave me the tools.
My son gave me the why.
I always work in a calm, compassionate way that helps students feel safe enough to be honest about where they're struggling and motivated enough to want to change it.
Students gain practical tools they can apply independently across subjects and beyond our sessions.

Nicki's knowledge, expertise and experience produced an incredibly useful "how to study" course for UWCSEA students studying the IBDP. Digging into cognitive science, effective learning strategies and her own research, Nicki made the course fun, engaging and genuinely helpful for hundreds of students, which will turn into thousands in years to come. Her professionalism and flexibility was very much appreciated, and she was (and still is) a valuable partner for the college. Thank you Nicki!

Nicki is simply the best. I was lucky enough to be tutored by her and her influence has been a lasting legacy, kind, compassionate, talented, driven, motivating, there just aren’t enough superlatives to describe her. NiH Consultancy is destined to succeed, as will anyone who entrusts Nicki to advise them.

Visualisations impact my learning quite significantly. They make the memorisation process more interesting while aiding me in drawing new connections between existing concepts. Visualisations have taught me that there is more than one way of looking at a particular concept, and that a particular subject can be connected to so many others, if one only takes the time to look.

I learn much better with visuals. It helps me contextualise information much better. When I read text, I have to process the infromation and translate it into a mental concept I can understand. When I am presented with a visual, the processing is much easier and quicker.
