Don't just take my word for it


Charli, 2022 Year 12 HSC Graduate
"After struggling with year 12 biology, Nikki helped me to boost my grade and overall confidence within the subject through her genuine dedication and passion for teaching, making something that was so difficult for me so much easier. Thank you Nikki"
Bryce, NSW High School Science Teacher 
"In my five years at University, Nikki is certainly the most memorable educator I had the pleasure of learning from. I would recommend any aspiring Biology student to experience Nikki's guidance and support, as an unrealised level of success is tangible in her care." 
Bailey, NSW High School Science Teacher
"The positive impact you have had on my learning cannot be put into words. You are truly an amazing and gifted educator, as well as a genuinely good person... I hope more students continue to benefit from the truly remarkable experience of being taught by Nikki Curthoys."


Macey, 2023 Year 12 HSC student 
"Before I started tutoring with Nikki I felt very left behind in my Biology class and that I was unable to keep up with all of my work. Since then, my confidence has boosted so much. Nikki prepares slideshows to help me visualise what I am learning about, as well as giving me questions to make sure I understand the content. I enjoy doing my lessons and always gain a better understanding of the content I am doing. She is great!"
