What Our Clients Say
I am pleased to have an opportunity to express my deepest gratitude to Nicola Askin who supported my daughter throughout her whole school life. Mrs Askin’s understanding of the psychology of children and her ability to identify the strengths of the individual, enabled her to help my daughter to specialise in her studies. With Mrs Askin’s continuous support my daughter was enrolled in the university of her choice.

Parent
Nicola showed exceptional knowledge about the application process from start to finish, as well as being friendly and efficient when selecting future options. Her personal approach helped me to make my application stand out and I was accepted to Durham University. While I was at university, Nicola maintained contact with me, providing support and ensuring that I got along well. I highly recommend this service to anyone who is seeking professional support in furthering their education through hard work and passion.
