About Helen

- What kind of experience do you have?

I have been tutoring in my tutoring office for 4 years. My previous tutees have succeeded at improving their grades for AS/A2 Sociology on the AQA syllabus - incuding Family, Education, Health, Media, Belief and Crime modules. I am also experienced with the Edxexcel AS/A2 level Politics & Government, which has a range of varied topics including Political Ideology, International Relations and the EU. I am also experienced in AQA GCSE History and OCR A level Sociology.

I have a range of educational experience, note-taking and mentoring in the higher education sector for 5 years. I have supported students with a range of SEN and disabilities including Dyslexia, Hearing Impairment, and those with ASD/Aspergers. I have passed on life skills, and study skills, with a range of revision techniques. I've worked as an academic mentor for Politics and International Relations up to degree level. I can provide university references if requested.
I have excellent feedback from previous students and their grade improvements are really a pleasure to see.

- Do you have an up-to-date DBS (Disclosure & Barring Service, formerly CRB) Certificate?

I have a summer 2015 DBS check, available for students and parents to see.

- Where and with whom did you train?

My degrees are both from Aberystwyth University in Wales. I have worked with the Reading University for 6 years, mentoring students and supporting their studies. My Counselling course was run by Oxford University Continuing Education.

- Tell me about some of your current students.

My current students are a range of subjects and ages, but they are all enjoying their sessions and making great progress towards their targets. We review work regularly, and this helps students remain focused. I communicate regularly with students and parents by email, providing feedback and further resources where applicable.

Sessions involve activities, discussions, visual and auditory learning as well as reading and helping you develop your essay style for better grades. My students grow in knowledge and confidence and often come back next year for their next stage of study!
