I have had the pleasure of being tutored by Helen, and I can`t recommend her enough! She not only helped me to better understand my set texts, but also ensured to provide multiple revision supplies to aid with my revision. Helen`s explanations of the themes of the texts were both clear and concise and thanks to her assistance I felt much more confident in my exams. If you are looking for a tutor who is genuinely invested in your success, I would highly recommend Helen.

Helen supported my daughter to strengthen her understanding of English lit texts and themes ahead of A level exams in Yr 13. She has helped her to feel more confident coming up the exams and her mock results were what she had hoped for (A). Many thanks.
