Helen

I am a fully qualified teacher with experience as Lecturer in the University of London, University of Reading and University of Winchester. I have a Masters in English Literature an a post graduate qualification in Applied Linguistics. I am passionate about education and learning, and am always willing to take on a new challenge.

Tutoring Experience

I have 15 years teaching and tutoring experience in English and English as a Foreign language.
I have taught in secondary schools at GCSE and A-Level and in Universities.
I have tutored KS2 for SATs and entrance exams.
I have a very good success rate with IELTs students.
I have an extremely high success rate with students, both in the classroom and in tailored sessions.
I have been teaching maths and foundation skills for the past 4 years, as a second subject.

Tutoring Approach

I offer a tailored approach to tutoring, based on the needs of the pupil, their own learning style and whether they need support or extension work. I have worked with children and adults with various Special Educational Needs. I offer the first session as a "freebie" so I can get to know the student, understand their learning style and to make sure we can work together. I know my subjects very well, and I adapt the style of lessons to suit the learner.

I mostly work from my home or online. I can sometimes accommodate students in their own home, but this is subject to my availability and will incur additional travel costs.
