Information about Helena
I am an English, French, Spanish, Italian and entrance examination teacher. An examiner of the aforementioned subjects, I am able to help students achieve the best possible marks in their exams. I am also a PGCE qualified teacher.
I studied modern foreign languages at Oxford University. Since graduating from university in 2017, I have not only taught languages, but have also taught English across a range of exam boards and ages. My students’ results have consistently been exemplary (e.g. student achieved A* having had a predicted grade C).
I initially tutored alongside a corporate role in financial sales. Passionate about teaching, I now teach full-time.
I have extensive experience teaching children from as early as 3 years of age, both online and in-person. I find that my patient, encouraging approach is well-suited to teaching younger students, in addition to adults.
Availability: Can be flexible.
Willing to travel: 3 miles

Helena helped me with some exam preparation and speaking sessions. Her support was invaluable and I wish I had engaged her as a tutor throughout my studies. Helena is extremely easy to talk to, supportive and engaging. She gauged my speaking level almost immediately and knew just how to challenge me whilst boosting my confidence. Totally enjoyed my sessions and Helena’s energy is infectious.
