I have had lessons with Helen for a year and she has been amazing. Great tutor, she helped me build up my confidence and improve my communication skills. Her teaching methods were bespoke to my needs and I couldn’t recommend her enough!
I am a heart surgeon from China. I needed to pass IELTS with 7 to get registered in GMC (General Medical Council). Then I knew Helen and I was pleased to be her student. Helen is an excellent senior English teacher. Her teaching is geared to my need and ability. She inspires me with her sound teaching method and responsible attitude. Helen is my teacher, my mentor and my friend.
Helen is an amazing and very patient teacher, she helped me achieve the results I needed on the IELTS test without much trouble, even though my English was pretty poor back then. She provided great guidance and tips to help me get the results I needed (7.5 overall with a minimum of 7 on each individual exam), 100% recommended!! After gaining my IELTS with Helen I now work as a dental hygienist.
‘Helen has helped my wife and I pass the life in the UK test. She also helped me pass the B1 Trinity exam achieving distinction. Helen is a really friendly and passionate person and that was evident in the results we achieved and her hard work with us really paid off.’
‘I used Helen as a private English tutor when I first arrived in the UK from Thailand. Helen is extremely patient and helpful and really helped me with my conversational English and gave me the confidence to express myself. If you are looking for a fantastic one to one tutor to help develop your language skills, I would recommend Helen Marlow as she is very experienced and extremely positive. After classes with Helen, I passed my Life in UK test, first time!‘
