Helena

I am an English, French, Spanish, Italian, entrance examination and Oxbridge tutor.

I studied modern foreign languages at Oxford University. Since graduating in 2017, I have tutored across a range of exam boards and ages. My students’ results have consistently been exemplary (e.g. student achieved A* having had a predicted grade C). I initially tutored alongside a corporate role in financial sales. Passionate about teaching, I now teach full-time.

In addition to conducting individual and group sessions via Keystone, I am a teacher in a London secondary school. I teach foreign languages, English and English as an Additional Language (EAL). My position in the secondary school ensures I have in-depth knowledge on the best methods to ensure students excel in their subjects. Moreover, my role as an examiner has further enriched my expertise, enabling me to better guide and prepare students for success.

I have experience teaching children from as early as 3 years of age, both online and in-person.

I am an incredibly patient teacher and strive to make the student feel as relaxed as possible as learning can be a daunting process.

Lessons are meticulously prepared in line with the student's individual requirements. I use a range of resources to practice a variety of skills, in addition to using my own materials.

I am well-read, abreast of current affairs and familiar with the latest linguistic developments. I also thoroughly research answers to my students' questions if I feel the immediate answer has not been detailed enough.

I always find it difficult to break away from a good book. I read on a wide range of topics, from sociology, psychology, technology, history and fiction.

With dual nationality (British and American), I have been moving between different countries from a young age, and my love for travel continues. I regularly spend time between London and Italy. I enjoy travelling for the fact that it affords the possibility of meeting and spending time with people.
