I am an interdisciplinary academic, health care professional and a student mentor with a strong foundation in health sciences, science communication, and engineering. Having studied in both foreign- Cameroon, Sweden and UK educational systems, I bring a rich understanding of academic expectations, cultural differences, and the challenges faced by international students transitioning into UK higher education
With over a decade of experience as a writer, editor, and mentor, I have supported students in academic writing, research development, and critical thinking. I founded UK Study Bridge Academy to guide international learners through the academic and cultural transition into UK universities—offering practical, structured, and empowering learning tools rooted in personal experience and academic rigour.

“Nicol’s mentorship transformed the way I approach academic writing. His feedback was clear, constructive, and always encouraging, he went above and beyond to encourage me about other aspects of life in the UK. He encouraged and motivated me to be discipline, avoid social media, to use the Liberians as much as possible to improve my writing. I feel so much more confident now at university.”
“Studying in the UK was a huge adjustment, but Nicol helped me understand the expectations and language of academic success. Things like taking notes in class & during seminars, writing an introduction by starting with a grabber- quote, statistics, using PEEL in building on paragraphs, writing a conclusion. I have become exceptionally confident in my writing with Nicol’s support”
