Helen has been really great with our son, her lessons with him have helped him start to catch up and have a better understanding of his English studies. He has really been enjoying them too which has sometimes been the biggest battle. Helen makes them enjoyable and has kept things at a level & speed that has encouraged him to want to do more & more.

Helen was very professional and always arrived when she said she would. My daughter was really struggling with her English literature and she needed to get above a 4. She actually got a 5 in. Literature and a 7 in her Language. Meaning she could go onto do her chosen subjects at college. Highly recommend her to help your child get the grade they need .
