I have worked as a classroom based teacher since 2011. I have taught across all of the primary age groups from nursery to year 6. I began tutoring in 2015 while I was doing my MA and have worked with children studying for 4+, 7+, 9+, 11+ and 13+ since.

I have helped students to gain places at independent schools including Westminster, Eton, Harrow, City of London, NCLS, Dulwich College, Winchester, Tonbridge, Alleyns and many more!

Alongside teaching in schools and tutoring for entrance exam preparation, I have worked extensively with children with dyslexia and students with a variety of educational needs.

I was born in Ireland where I lived until graduating from Trinity College Dublin with a Bachelor of Education in 2011. I spent two years teaching in Abu Dhabi before moving to London in 2015 to further my career. I continued teaching part-time while I completed my MA in Applied Theatre at Goldsmiths University. Since then I have been working in schools, tutoring and working in the theatre.

“The best thing we found about Helen’s teaching is that she gave my child lots of space and freedom to try out no matter how challenging the topics are. She played the supporting role by directing and guiding them with lots of encouragement. My child has been always strong in maths but never loves the subject. Helen definitely helped to open the love box which brings lots of fun and initiatives in the subject which will help my child to go far.”

“Recognizing my daughter was far from a good standard 3 months before her 11+ exams, I was extremely lucky to find Helen who's highly experienced and willing to work closely with us to tailor her teaching to my daughter's specific needs. Helen really maximized her teaching outcome effectively in every lesson. My daughter received multiple offers and academic scholarships. Without Helen we would not see this outcome. We cannot recommend her highly enough to anyone who is looking for a tutor that is compassionate, warm and focusing on bringing the best work out of their children. Thank you so much Helen!”

I like to bring my love of theatre and play to my lessons, incorporating games and challenges and making learning as fun as possible. I am approachable, friendly and energetic in my approach to learning. In my lesson I apply different teaching strategies depending on each individual child’s needs, I believe that every student is unique and has the ability to succeed.
My main aim to make lessons enjoyable for my students as well as highly productive. I understand the pressure children are under when preparing for entrance exams so I aim is to create engaging lessons that will support and develop my student's understanding of the topic and, most importantly, enhance their love of learning.

I currently work as a tutor full-time and intend to for the foreseeable future. When I am not tutoring I enjoy spending my free time performing comedy and storytelling. I am also a mum to a little boy, so he keeps me busy!
