I have been tutoring full-time for several years,. I enjoy preparing top quality lessons for individuals geared to precise learning aims.

Helen sourced several relevant past papers to help our daughter prepare for a 13+ entrance exam (outcome awaited) in quite a short timescale. We had a few issues with sound which made the sessions challenging at times, I don`t know if this was the platform or the devices used at either end. Helen knew her stuff and was very generous with her time, as well as being a really nice person to deal with.
