About Me
Welcome to my webpage. My name is Helen and I am a trained English teacher. I am Secondary English qualified and offer English tuition for pupils at both primary and secondary level. I have much experience in teaching pupils from Year 2 to Year 11 and specifically at GCSE. I enjoy working with pupils of all ages and abilities and offer a personalised programme of study for every student I teach. I believe practice is the key to improvement and I work hard with my pupils to allow them to achieve their best: with hard work comes great reward.
I am also qualified in teaching learners with dyslexia. I have Approved Teacher Status which is awarded by the British Dyslexia Association.

Specific Learning Difficulties - Dyslexia
I am a fully qualified Dyslexia Specialist and create individualised learning programmes for the pupils I teach. I follow a highly structured programme to teach spelling and sound which is aimed specifically at pupils with dyslexia. I also have experience in working with pupils with memory processing difficulties, dyspraxia, Aspergers Syndrome and speech and language difficulties.
Maths
I also have much experience in teaching Mathematics to children between the ages of 6 and 11. Often parents welcome being able to go to one place for two different subjects!
