Nick Tester

Elevorix Founder

Nick Tester is a leading figure in co-curricular education, having worked in educational institutions and associations for the last twenty two years. In this time, Nick has helped hundreds of families find the right school for their children, and mentored over a thousand individuals who have special talents in sports, music or drama.

As well as this, Nick’s innovative thinking behind developing success in school sport, both in terms of participation and excellence, has led him to be asked to talk within the national press in recent years, with appearances in The Times, FourFourTwo magazine, Radio FiveLive, TalkSport, and even German and Indian National television leading to him being a much requested speaker at educational institutions and business events. Being a former Choral Scholar and Drama teacher, as well as being a nationally renowned coach in Football and Cricket, he is particularly interested in the links between Music, Drama and Sport in the development of elite performance, whether it be in academic studies, or in the business world.

Nick’s contact base, coupled with his unique experience and innovative thinking led him to form Elevorix Educational Consultancy, helping individuals, families and educational institutions become the best possible versions of themselves. He truly cares about a young person’s journey through life and is excited to carry on his dedication to helping people into the future.
