Helen was helpful and prepared for lessons. She quickly addresses weaknesses. She broke down topics by using visual math equipment so my daughter could easily understand concepts. However we face substantial irregularity with lessons. Due to her heath conditions she has not been very punctual which I believe is important for progress. Besides this concern I would recommend her as a math tutor.
From Nick
For years my son struggled with ‘mainstream’ school, and with English in particular.
ADHD seems like the most likely explanation, but finding a definitive answer is illusive.
Helen really understands the issues at hand. In short order, she's put together a plan to get the most out of him, and - best of all - it’s working!
Having focussed one-to-one attention, as well as a teacher that ‘gets him’, is the right formula to finally start making progress after all those wasted years.
I’m incredibly relieved, as well as enormously grateful to Helen for her excellent work.
It is been a pleasure to see your son progress from struggling to concentrate for more than 15 mins to now being able to cope with 30 mins without a break. He has shown a real desire to learn and engages really well. What a difference in such a short space of time.
From Farai
Helen has a wealth of experience with children who have special needs. Our son has only had 3 sessions and we can already see improvements.
We still have a long way to go and we are so glad we found Helen on this site. I can’t recommend her enough.
Thank you for your lovely words.
I am so pleased that we are already seeing early signs of progress towards our goal of helping your son to improve his fine motor skills to enable him to form recognisable letters.
I very much enjoy working with your son and supporting you as parents to help him.
From Steve
Helen has been very helpful in arranging lessons. My daughter has found Helen to be very patient and has provided clear explanation that has helped her understanding of her maths Steve Jones
Thank you for your feedback. Yasmin has been a very responsive student and has engaged in the additional learning with enthusiasm in my lessons as well as completing homework tasks to support her learning between lessons.
From Lucy
Helen has been tutoring my daughter for 12 months now. She was slipping behind in maths at school, she lacked confidence, focus and was becoming anxious and worried that she 'couldn't do maths'. Helen has created a unique learning structure for her and has increased her confidence and now she really enjoys maths, this was made possible because Helen understood her needs and worked to ensure she improved through finding a fun and exciting way to learn maths. Thank you Helen.
Thank you very much for your feedback. I thoroughly enjoy teaching your daughter and have been thrilled to be able to help her to improve and develop a positive attitude to maths. Thank you for your support in helping her to achieve this.
From Stephanie
Helen has worked with my child for over a year now. She plans her lessons well and quickly picks up on areas of need. Helen looks at how to solve problems from a unique angle which is effective and has made a great difference. Helen has an insight into the challenges of school faced by children with social issues and has helped our child to find the language required to play collaboratively with other children. Helen works imaginatively and with a positive attitude. She has many talents and brings her enthusiasm to her role as a tutor.
