Background

Helen holds a Master’s degree in Physics from Imperial College London, where she achieved a 2:1. She completed her degree in 2024 and brings a strong academic background, including 3 A* in A Level Physics, Further Maths, and Maths. At GCSE, she achieved all Grade 9s in Maths, the three Sciences, and English Literature & Language.

Beyond her academic achievements, Helen has been working as a professional tutor since 2019, delivering lessons to students ranging from primary to A Level. She has a proven track record of helping students improve their confidence and academic performance through tailored lesson plans and engaging teaching methods. Her passion for education extends beyond tutoring, as she also volunteers to help primary school students learn to read – developing literacy skills and a love for reading that will serve them throughout their academic journey.

TEACHING EXPERIENCE & APPROACH

Helen has over five years of tutoring experience, both online and in person, working with over 50 students. She has helped students excel in Physics, Maths, and related subjects, ensuring they not only achieve their academic goals but also gain the confidence to tackle future challenges.

Helen’s teaching style focuses on three core aims: confidence, accuracy, and fluency. She begins by breaking down complex concepts into simple, digestible parts to make sure students feel confident and capable. This approach helps remove any initial fear of difficult topics. Once students feel more secure, Helen works on accuracy, encouraging precision in problem-solving and understanding. She uses clear explanations and spot checks to ensure that students fully grasp key concepts. Finally, fluency is developed through regular practice and by revisiting challenging areas, which helps students apply their knowledge fluidly in different contexts. Her lessons are structured but adaptable, and incorporate interactive tools to keep students engaged and motivated. Helen maintains strong communication with both students and parents, regularly updating them on progress to ensure that everyone is aligned and working toward the same goals.

Helen has successfully prepared students for important exams such as the 11+, GCSEs, and A Levels, often helping students achieve higher grades than predicted, including A*/A results in A Level Physics and Maths.

ПОЧЕМУ ИМЕННО РЕПЕТИТОРСТВО?

“I find tutoring incredibly rewarding because it allows me to see the growth in my students’ confidence and knowledge. Many students come to me feeling unsure about a subject, and it’s a great feeling to be able to break down difficult material in a way that makes sense to them. I enjoy developing lessons that suit each student’s learning style, and it’s very fulfilling to hear about their successes. I love seeing my students not only achieve their academic goals but also grow to enjoy the subjects they once found difficult.”

My favourite book is Six of Crows by Leigh Bardugo.
