QTS qualified English Teacher
An exceptionally experienced English teacher with over 30 years in education, known for reading a student quickly and accurately, then building them up through clear, manageable steps. A particular strength in supporting students with SEND or other barriers to learning.
Helen has taught English from Year 2 through to GCSE and previously held some of the most senior roles in school leadership, including Head of English, Advanced Skills Teacher, and Deputy Headteacher, where she led Teaching & Learning for over a decade.
Helen identifies exactly where the gaps are, meets the student at that point, and moves them forward by breaking learning into clear, manageable steps that build real understanding and lasting confidence. Lessons are structured around clear learning objectives, with careful explanation, modelling and practice built in at every stage. She's calm, warm and highly skilled at adapting her approach, particularly for students with SEND.
When my son first started lessons with Helen, he was a little unsure and quite shy, Helen has been so great at helping him to come out of his shell and really show off what he can do, She has a lovely way of teaching that makes him feel successful!
