My Tutoring & Teaching Experience

As an Education Officer, I’ve been in sole charge of an education program, building bespoke workshops and teaching resources to meet international syllabi, working with over 500 students a month.

My Approach to Tutoring
Although my expertise lies in classical English literary texts I try to negotiate literature and learning from a modern standpoint. I want to make sure that the learning feels relevant, engaging students on their own terms. This might mean talking about the links between a student’s favourite TV show and classical literature or allowing them to build their own critical opinion. Having taught a wide range of learners I've developed a high-energy teaching style; I bring a lot of positive and focused energy into the room and create a playful atmosphere when learning. We may be studying for an exam but that doesn't mean the content or the lesson has to be dull. Having immersed myself in educational theories for many years I take my work seriously and put a great deal of thought into every lesson I teach.
Fun Facts About Me
When I am not tutoring you can find me in a theatre doing anything from rigging lights, stage managing productions or even performing the odd one-woman show! I consume TV and film at an impressive rate - and studied a lot of visual culture at university. I'll try and use a classic film scene in a lesson to demonstrate how the literary technique in a novel translates to visual culture. Teuta is an Albanian name; although meant to be pronounced 'Te-u-tar' most people pronounce it 'Tutor' which makes quite a fun little joke.

Helena Wells – Private Tutor in London
Prior to studying a degree in Anthropology at Cambridge (BA Hons 2:1), I went to Oakham School where I studied an eclectic mix of A-levels (History, Geography, Biology and Fine Art), and achieved top grades in all four subjects. This range of subjects, and the degree that followed, reflect my interest in people and why we behave as we do. Indeed I am continuing to pursue this interest, and am currently studying an MSc in Psychology at the University of Surrey.
Before studying at Surrey, I worked in the advertising industry (J Walter Thompson) and for a behavioural consultancy as a Project Manager.

I also spent a month working and travelling in Japan, which was utterly fascinating.
Throughout my professional career I built a reputation as someone people turned to for support and I enjoyed helping develop new starters. I also have a wealth of insight when it comes to CV’s, personal statements and interview techniques – all of which are front of mind for me having just applied to university again myself. ...
