Nina is a qualified Teacher and Social Worker from South London, dedicated to supporting children to achieve their goals and overcome challenges. Her commitment to education is rooted in her family history, as both her late grandmother and mother were teachers.

Her academic background in Psychology and Journalism provided a strong foundation for understanding learning, communication, and child development. She began her career as a Teaching Assistant in a local Primary School, supporting children with Global Delay and ASD, and later expanded her international experience by teaching at a school in India.

On returning to the UK, she gained additional professional experience in the financial sector, where she developed organisational, leadership, and management skills as both a Chartered Banker and Assistant Store Manager. However, her earlier teaching experiences and time abroad reinforced her commitment to working with children. 

She went on to teach in primary schools for several years, while also serving as a staff Governor within her school federation, contributing to both the Quality of Education and Resources Committees.

In 2019, she launched her own tutoring business, which quickly adapted to remote learning during the pandemic. Over the following years, she provided personalised tuition for children from Reception through to KS3, laying the foundations for what would become Invigorate Education.

After leaving mainstream teaching, she worked as a Nurture Teacher in a Social, Emotional and Mental Health school, where she deepened her understanding of the positive impact education can have on children with additional needs.

Following this, she qualified as a Social Worker and gained experience across several teams within her Local Authority, including the Multi-Agency Safeguarding Hub, the Assessment and Intervention Team and the Children with Disabilites Team. This work has given her a holistic understanding of children and their families, offering insight into the wide range of factors that affect a child’s development, learning, and overall wellbeing. These experiences have strengthened her belief that every child, regardless of circumstance or ability, deserves access to the right educational support, which remains central to the mission of Invigorate Education.

With a wealth of experience spanning education, social care, and family support, Nina brings a unique perspective and an unwavering commitment to helping children thrive. This vision continues to be the driving force behind the creation of Invigorate Education.
