Lessons with me are student-centred. You will be active, involved and encouraged at every step. I will meet you at your place of understanding and we move on together from there.
Lessons last up to 55 minutes - including brain breaks and stretches. We'll work hard but will refresh ourselves to maintain focus.
In English and Literature, we will read and analyse a wide variety of texts, structures and tones in the written word. We will build your writing skills in transactional and creative tasks.
In MFL, I will help you to gain the confidence to practise a foreign language - we will work on skills, vocabulary, conversation, authenticity and meeting the exam requirements.
KS3 learning and GCSE preparation.
Recommendations

I am pleased to recommend Helen O'Gorman, who has been teaching English to KS3 and KS4 students since 2020.
Up until last academic year I was her Director of Studies, and then returned to teaching last academic year. During that time we worked closely on various initiatives for the English Department.
Throughout this time, she has consistently demonstrated a strong commitment to student progress and a passion for literature and language. Her lessons are engaging, well-structured, and tailored to meet the varied needs of students, including those requiring additional support and those needing extra challenge.
Helen has a calm and professional classroom presence,
fostering a respectful and inclusive environment where students feel confident to contribute. Their assessment practices are thorough and insightful, helping students to understand their progress and areas for improvement. She has contributed positively to the wider school community and worked effectively with parents and colleagues alike.
I am confident that Helen will be an asset to any school
team and strongly recommend her for any English teaching role within secondary education.
If you need further info, please don't hesitate to contact me.
Best regards,
Steve Corney
I have known Helen for more than 30 years. Helen speaks several languages and has lived in various parts of the world. She has worked as a teacher/tutor in different settings teaching languages to students from primary school age through to adults. She is friendly, approachable and conveys her passion for languages and learning through her teaching delivery.
I was first introduced to Helen in the summer of 2012 in Delhi, where she lived and worked. Though my English was reasonably good, it was a bit stilted. Colloquialisms and turns of phrase that define native speakers were mostly alien to me. Over the last thirteen years or so we kept up our correspondence, with a clear agenda to improve my language skills. I must admit that the present me is a far cry from the somewhat self-conscious, slightly halting speaker that I was. I would absolutely recommend Helen to anyone who is looking to develop their linguistic muscles.
