Helen has been an amazing support for my daughter, M who has been attending classes since primary school. What started out as an after school activity has resulted in M taking art as a GCSE & an A level. Helen provided creative guidance & support in helping M to develop ideas for her exam pieces & ongoing coursework. At a stressful time for my daughter, Helen was patient & helpful and I valued her input as I knew M would take it onboard. This meant I could rely on Helen to encourage M & help her progress. I would absolutely recommend Helen as a tutor! MF- Parent
Helen is a superb art teacher who shows an extensive breath of knowledge and experience in art tutoring. I am so glad I found Helen to help support my son, S in his GCSE Art coursework. Helen is friendly, patient and professionalin her approach and S felt so at ease with her style of teaching from Day 1. She instils confidence in her student and encourages S to think outside the box with creative ideas using different art medium. Helen also has the ability to encourage S to work to his full potential without pressure. Under the skilful guidance of Helen, I am amazed with the impressive progress that S has made in his art coursework within the year.I cannot recommend Helen highly enough. JC - Parent. May 2025

Helen is a wonderful teacher who immerses herself with her students. Not only is she a highly skilled artist who oozes creativity and inspiration but she radiates positivity and never fails to make me smile. KL - GCSE/A’Level Student
Helen is an excellent tutor with expertise in many different materials and techniques. She can work with any level of ability (both my younger siblings were also taught by Helen). She is always lovely and encouraging, which makes any lesson with her an absolute joy. Studying with Helen for many years really helped kindle my passion for art which is an integral part of my personality to this day and to improve my technical ability. She comes highly recommended! KC – GCSE/A’Level Student
I find Helen kind, warm and really supportive. She makes every lesson enjoyable and inspires me with new ideas. She has helped me improve my technical skills and encourages me to develop my own unique personal pieces. Helen is the best art teacher whom I have come across! SC - GCSE Student May 2025
Helen tutored me while I attended Artworks for 3 years during secondary school, helping me develop my own personal style of painting and she equipped me with skills to improve my pieces that I still use today. Helen was also a brilliant help when I did art GCSE, helping me with coursework ideas and the development of final pieces, introducing me to new techniques that I otherwise wouldn't have had the opportunity to learn, and also introducing me to new artists in the process for inspiration. Helen really helped me to also build my confidence in my artwork, highly recommended! TP – GCSE Student
