Helen is a respected tutor in our community. She is highly recommended for her commitment and the quality of her lessons. A trusted partner on your learning journey.
About Helen
I studied Biology at the University of Bath, which included completing a year’s industrial placement at GSK working in pre-clinical drug testing. After university I worked near Oxford in the field of genetic engineering for cancer immunotherapies.
I have always enjoyed teaching, having tutored throughout school and university and
therefore knew a career in teaching was in my future!
I completed my PGCE, and became a qualified teacher in 2021. I threw myself into school life and since then have taken on leadership roles including Head of Biology and Lead Practitioner, helping to develop other teachers in the school.
Outside of teaching I love to run and paint, both of which are relatively new hobbies but come with the joy of seeing quick progress as I try to get better at them both!

I am dedicated to offering exceptional quality lessons tailored to individual needs that focus on building a deep understanding of the content and instilling confidence in exam technique. I am endlessly passionate about my subject and have in-depth knowledge of the GCSE and A Level curricula as well as being a highly skilled teacher, understanding effective teaching techniques that facilitate meaningful learning.
Lessons will include clear and high-quality explanations of content, skills or exam technique, lots of opportunity to practise with my support and then some independent work to check for mastery and to build confidence.

I’m another teacher in Helen’s department and have worked closely with her on lesson planning and delivery.
Helen is a fantastic, caring teacher whose lessons are full of clear explanations, checking for understanding, and well crafted, high value tasks.
I appreciate how she takes the time to unpick misconceptions at all levels of science.
You couldn’t ask for a better science or biology tutor!I was fortunate to be taught GCSE and A Level Biology by Miss Rose, with whom I achieved a Grade 9 and an A*. As a teacher, she is not only deeply knowledgeable in her subject, but also genuinely invested in the personal and academic growth of every student she teaches. She clearly understands the curricula as she explains complex processes with clarity and confidence, often linking them to real-life applications to make the content both accessible and memorable. She fosters a welcoming and supportive learning environment in which students feel completely comfortable asking questions. This was particularly evident during exam preparation, where she patiently addressed every query and provided detailed feedback that strengthened both my understanding and exam technique. Miss Rose consistently gives her time and energy to ensure each student reaches their full potential.
