Helen

I am a hardworking, dedicated and passionate qualified Secondary English teacher in Sheffield. I am well versed with the AQA exam boards and have taught and tutored A Level English, A Level Psychology AQA, and A Level Philosophy AQA since 2013. I am offering my qualified services to any pupil who would benefit from some professional input into to their home school experience.

I trained at The Silverdale School in Sheffield and currently work at Birley Academy. I specialise in teaching exam technique but I am also well versed in teaching the course specification too. I have been highly successful over my 12 years of tutoring and have watched my pupils grow in confidence and have seen their grades improve even after a few lessons as their exam technique and understanding of the mark scheme develop.

I am also a Head of Year and love the pastoral nature of teaching and tutoring. I firmly believe that nurture and praise results in the most successful students.

Tutoring Experience

Private tutor for 12 years.
Qualified teacher for 7 years.

Tutoring Approach

I am extremely patient yet passionate about the subjects that I teach and I adore working with and building working relationships with students.

I specialise in teaching understanding of the mark scheme and explain what the student must do to be successful.

I give detailed essay feedback and tailor my approach to the students’ needs.

I always try to make lessons enjoyable and try my best to simplify the more complex information that students often struggle to comprehend.
