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.

"Nicola has been very supportive by helping me to fill in the blanks left over from my high school education. This has been crucial to improving my confidence in mathematics"

"My daughter has gained a lot of confidence, especially with her mental maths. Her progress has been shown in her school work. Nicola has shown great empathy towards her"

"I was lacking confidence in maths. Nicola was a fantastic teacher and really helped to improve my technique and approach to maths problems. She is patient, understanding and friendly"

"Any work we did at home would typically end up with us both becoming frustrated. He had been reluctant to put his hand up and ask in school. In a short time he has gained a lot more confidence"

"She was very friendly and professional. After a few sessions I felt much more confident in my ability and passed the numerical reasoning tests. She explains things very clearly"

"Already I have noticed a big difference in his attitude and approach to his school homework; he has gained a willingness to give it a go and not just assume he can't do it!"

"Nicola was a patient tutor, always helpful in answering any questions I had. I’d always found maths quite a scary subject, but through Nicola's tutoring I found I built confidence with the subject"

"We have been impressed with her professionalism, patience and teaching. She worked at a level and pace that suited our children. Both have gone on to receive 11+ results we are very proud of."
