About Helena
Hello! My name is Helena and I hope my students learn to improve their language skills and love public speaking as much as I do! Learning the art of public speaking has been one of the most rewarding things I have done, it brings with it so many new opportunities, both academically and in personal development!
MY EXPERIENCE:
• 7 years experience in regional & national debating/public speaking competitions
• National Finalist in the English-Speaking-Union Mace Debate competition
• Twice participated in the London School of Economics Schools Debating competition
• Extensive public speaking experience to audiences of 700+ as Head Girl (including to prospective parents & governors)
• Semifinalist of the Durham Colleges Debate Cup competition
• LAMDA Grade 8 Distinction in Performance & RADA Gold Award
• Acted in numerous stage productions for 5 years
• English tutor to refugee children in Lebanon via the Alsama Project helping them gain confidence in their reading & conversation skills
• Debating & Public Speaking mentoring at school helping students aged 11-16 weekly.
I understand the challenges of public speaking, as well as tips & tricks to overcome them! I have 7 years of experience in public speaking competitions including at a national level, achieved Grade 9 in English at GCSE level, 3 As in my all-essay subjects at A-Level and currently study at Durham University.

I take a supportive & encouraging yet aspirational approach to tutoring. I will use recent news articles, Q&As, practice speeches & speaking exercises to ensure students get the extra practice needed to enhance their speaking skills.
English speaking is often a matter of confidence, lessons would be a safe space to improve confidence & fluency. Lessons can be between 30 mins to an hour depending on your needs. I can tailor my lessons depending on what you wish to improve!
OPEN TO ALL AGES/LEVELS!
Do you have a presentation at work & want to impress? Are you speaking at a conference & want to engage your audience? Do you want to convince your teachers you should be Head Girl/Boy or any leadership role? Are you looking to become a more confident, persuasive speaker in general? Is English not your first language & want to improve your pronunciation?
For work, job interviews, speeches & everyday conversation - speaking well is a valuable skill that will open the door to so many opportunities!
