About Helene
Originally from the business world, I found my career unfulfilling and felt a strong need to make a difference. At 42, I went back to school and earned my Master's in Education. For the next 20 years, I worked as a teacher, dedicated to helping children grow academically and personally. What I love most is building connections with my students and getting to know them as individuals. There's nothing more rewarding than seeing those "lightbulb" moments when they finally grasp a concept. Teaching isn’t just about lessons—it’s about creating experiences that stick with them for life.

I take the time to understand each child’s unique strengths and challenges in reading, creating lessons that meet them exactly where they are. The student will always know the objective of the lesson so we have a goal. We will always have a warm-up before we introduce a new topic. We will work together on guided practice and I will then give the student some independent practice which I will observe and take notes on. I then determine if the student has accomplished the objective or if we need to dive further. I will use leveled texts based on the student’s reading ability. For struggling readers I will provide more visual supports, allow oral responses, and adjust the pace. Good readers are good writers so I will usually have a writing piece to incorporate what they have learned. In this way, the student has a piece to reflect on and be proud of.

I met Helene when she was my son's third- and fourth-grade teacher. We completely lucked out! I volunteered a couple of hours a week in the classroom, so I had a peek into her style, etc. Helene is extremely patient, and kind and always keeps a good sense of humor. She is very respectful of students and has an even-keeled approach with them. Helene also keeps a positive attitude that keeps the students thinking positively, which is invaluable!
I recommend Helene as a bona fide tutor.
She has tutored our 6-year-old and 4-year-old for several years through various developmental and age appropriate subjects and skill sets.
Our children really enjoy when it's time to go visit with Ms. Helene, and look forward to seeing her for their next lesson. She accommodates each of their unique behavioral characteristics and keeps us well informed of their progress.
I highly recommend Helene as a tutor. She has provided exceptional reading tutoring for my grandson over the past two years. From the very first session, it was evident that Helene is a highly skilled and dedicated educator who is passionate about helping children succeed. My grandson struggled with reading, often feeling frustrated and lacking confidence. However, under Helene's patient and personalized guidance, he has made remarkable progress. She tailored lessons to his specific needs, using creative strategies and engaging materials that kept him motivated and interested. Not only has his reading ability improved significantly, but his confidence and enthusiasm for learning have grown as well.
Helene has been instrumental to our daughter's success in second and now third grade. She has provided tutoring in math, reading, and writing and is flexible with her lessons to suit our changing needs. Most importantly, she has provided our daughter with confidence and resources for us as parents. We are so appreciative of her investment in our child.
