Information about Helena

I am a fully qualified and highly successful teacher with 30 years experience in the classroom. The children I work with always make significant progress. I have lots of experience in Early Years (children aged 3 - 5), teaching phonics and maths, and have worked all the way through to Year 6. This means I have a wide range of different approaches and techniques at my fingertips to help your child. I am patient and cheerful, but always challenge the children I work with so they can achieve as much as possible.

I have been tutoring maths and English one-to-one (both face-to-face and online) for over five years, and find my learners stay with me long term. Alongside this, I still teach in the classroom, which means I am up to date with the National Curriculum and Early Years Foundation Stage.

Parents seek tuition for their children for different reasons. Perhaps your child has gaps in key concepts, or is lacking confidence in class, or is falling behind their peers. Perhaps your child needs more challenge to achieve what they are capable of. If your child is worried about the Year 6 SATs, tuition will make all the difference.

I offer patient, engaging and well-structured sessions. I tailor each session to address your child`s individual needs. with plenty of practical explanations if necessary to ensure your child fully understands what they are learning.

Each session also includes homework so your child can practise what they have been learning, as well as short feedback so you know what we have been working on.

I have some availability after school/evening during the week. I am also able to tutor home educated children during the day.

I can travel to you, and I also tutor in my home.

Contact me and we can discuss your child`s needs further.

Availability: I have some availability during the week both after school and evenings.
I may also be available during the day for home educated children.
I can travel to you, or tutor your child in my home. I also teach online, and am availble during the day and in the evenings.

Willing to travel: 5 miles

Experience: I have over twenty years experience teaching children in primary schools, as well as experience delivering one to one tuition. I am currently teaching part time. I tutor both in-person and online.

DBS Check: Yes

Helena is brilliant with my son. She spent time prior to the first session gathering information about his strengths and weaknesses. She has focused sessions on building his confidence in his weaker areas and writing ability, whilst also making sure material towards the 11 plus and other entrance exams is covered. My son thoroughly enjoys his tuition sessions with Helena, covering a lot of material and fuelling his enthusiasm for learning.

Helen is so friendly and has put the children at their ease. She makes the lessons enjoyable and has increased the children’s confidence after just a few sessions. I would recommend her to anyone with children who need some extra help.

Helena is a wonderful tutor, my daughter really enjoys and looks forward to her tutor sessions. After only 3 lessons my daughters confidence in literacy has really grown. I`m so glad that we have found Helena through Tutor hunt. Her patience and experience are invaluable.
