"My son Yogi has been working with Nicole since July 2020 and since then has made so much progress in his writing. Before meeting Nicole, he knew that he wanted to be a writer but didn’t fully trust his ideas or know how to best express himself. Through working with Nicole (who he loves!), his confidence has grown and he has begun to feel proud of his work. Together they have studied a variety of things like sentence structure, paragraph structure, and word choice, as well as how to blend description, dialogue, and character thoughts in writing. It’s amazing that Yogi has now published over 60 pieces on his blog and even wrote his own original short story series with Nicole’s guidance. I think that seeing his work published and presenting it during group Writer’s Cafes has really helped him feel like he has ownership over it. He trusts himself as a writer and knows that he has so much potential."

"Ms. Kagan was an extremely helpful SAT tutor for me. Not only did she help increase my Critical Reading and Writing scores by over 100 points, but also gave exceptional instructions on how to write a superb essay for the SAT graders as well as my language arts teacher in school. She did all of this by giving me tons of practice, and then thoroughly going through each section to correct my mistakes, so that I would understand what I did incorrectly. All in all, I immensely recommend Ms. Nicole Kagan as a coach; she will make a difference."

"Nicole is a great teacher! When you are in her lessons you don’t feel like a student; she becomes a friend. Nicole is a really nice interlocutor - she doesn’t press you by her authority and she doesn’t make corrections while you’re talking - she waits and only then tells what you can improve on. She is a talented teacher, and makes you interested in lessons."

"Nicole is an excellent and reliable tutor for language arts. She is not only good at what she teaches, but is also patient and nice enough to be your good friend. She helped my son with 5th grade NJ PARCC exam preparation and her lessons definitely helped him in improving language arts skills. Her assessment of my son's areas of improvement is beyond imagination. My son feels very comfortable in her supervision and enjoys her teaching style. We are also very confident that he will get good scores this year. I would definitely recommend Nicole to anybody who needs to improve their language arts skills."

"Ms. Kagan worked with me in Language Arts and really helped me become not only a better writer, but a more articulate speaker. I instantly improved my grades in school with her instruction. She explained questions and procedures clearly, and I could feel myself getting better at writing each session. Nicole was definitely a difference maker in my writing, and I strongly recommend her as an English coach."
