Warwick Tutor - 1 to 1 tuition for adults and children

Year 5-6, Maths

“Nicola started tutoring my son at the end of Year 5, I was looking for help as any work we did at home would typically end up with us both becoming frustrated and I really wanted to help him gain more confidence in Maths. He has always been reluctant to put his hand up and ask in school despite encouragement from both ourselves and teachers. In a short time he has gained a lot more confidence and a lot less reluctance to tackle problems. Thank you!”

Nicola Bhalerao - Warwick Tutor

About Me

My name is Nicola Bhalerao and I am a private tutor based in Warwick. Since 2013, I have provided one-to-one tuition for children and adults. I specialise in maths tutoring, but cater for different requests, ranging from 11+ / entrance exams to various uses of maths, e.g. : interviews, job promotions, GCSE retakes, Functional Skills, nursing, teaching – any situation where confidence in maths is required.

My background is in computing, with a Computer Science degree from Warwick University. I have worked many years as a programmer, latterly in the games industry. Both my sons were tutored by me for the 11+ (they went to a local grammar school). I received training for teaching secondary school maths and I am fully CRB checked.
