Helen has been very approachable and taken time to discuss our child`s requirements and concerns with us as parents but also with our son. After just the 2nd session he felt comfortable and said how helpful he had found the sessions already. Helen is really building his confidence back up.

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 .
