Year 6, Private School Entrance Exams

“Despite leaving it very near to the exams and Nicola being fully booked, she did her very best in fitting my son in for extra tuition lessons over the Christmas period. In a short space of time we noticed a massive improvement in his confidence and ability, and I have no doubt that Nicola played a huge part in that. Thankfully he passed both exams to Warwick School and Princethorpe College. I highly recommend Nicola and have already booked my daughter in to start tuition later this year in preparation for the 11 + and other secondary school exams.”

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.
