About Nicolas
After five years working in various government roles as a policy adviser and community engagement specialist, I decided to return to teaching. I believe critical thinking is a skill that is, unfortunately, increasingly absent in today’s world.
In a consumer-driven society where education is commodified and often reduced to a pathway toward employment and higher income, we are losing the ability to truly think and critically assess the world around us. This impoverished view of education has led to a troubling paradox: the most technologically advanced civilisation in history is also the one that has forgotten how to think.
Through my teaching, I am aiming to help you better understand yourself and the world we live in. I also hope to learn a thing or two from you in the process ;)
I published peer-reviewed articles in reputable journals such as the Australian Journal of Political Science and Democratic Theory. Over 130 citations. Link to my publication record on google scholar available upon request.

POLS201 – Middle Eastern Politics at ACU

Review
All of our reviews are collected by us and are 100% reliable. They correspond to a real experience lived by students with Nicolas.
Perfect! Highly engaging, and allows for fruitful discussions, but not allowing the topic to divulge too far from the main topic, highly educated and is very transparent with what he knows and doesn't as well
- Mohammed is very smart and inquisitive. A real pleasure to work with him!Nicolas's response :
Perfect! I am really grateful for the support I received from my tutor, especially when I needed last-minute help. He was always incredibly kind and patient, never making me feel rushed or stressed even when time was tight. What stood out most was how personal his approach was, he took the time to understand exactly what I needed and explained things in a way that made sense to me.
He consistently checked in and asked for feedback, which showed he genuinely cared about improving and making sure his teaching was effective. That level of attention and interest made a big difference in my confidence and understanding.
Overall, he created a supportive and comfortable environment, and I always felt encouraged to ask questions. I really appreciate his dedication and would highly recommend him to anyone needing extra help.- Caroline is a great student to work with. She is hardworking and listens to advice. She is also punctual and has a good attitude.Nicolas's response :
