Reading & Writing Tutoring
Working with Helen
My tutoring process begins with understanding each student’s strengths and challenges. From there, I create a tailored plan that blends skill-building with real assignments.
-
Sessions: Every session balances instruction, practice, and feedback so students learn effectively and apply new strategies immediately.
-
Progress: All students receive a detailed progress report every 3-4 months.
Strong readers and writers aren’t just born—they’re built through practice, feedback, and strategies that make complex ideas clear and achievable.

The Fox Tutoring Difference
You deserve to know your investment in tutoring is worthwhile. With me, your student won’t just get support, they’ll gain strategies, confidence, and skills that last long after our sessions end.
Here’s why working with me is a choice you can feel confident about.
A Proven Educator, Not Just a Tutor
-
During my 7+ years as an AP and IB English teacher, I pioneered advanced curriculum, directed an IB English department, and earned “Teacher of the Year.” That depth of expertise allows me to anticipate challenges and guide students with strategies that actually work.
Specialist in Advanced English
-
While many tutors cover general subjects, my focus is razor-sharp: analytical reading, writing, AP Lang, AP Lit, IB English, and college essays. I help struggling and top-achieving students not only keep up, but rise to the challenge of elite-level academics.
A Values-Driven Approach
-
My teaching begins and ends with grit. I know firsthand what it means to struggle, rediscover learning, and push past limits. I work to instill perseverance, curiosity, and confidence in my students so they grow as thinkers, not just test-takers.
Global Perspective
-
From studying Arabic and traveling abroad to working with students across the U.S. and internationally, I bring a global perspective that enriches how I teach literature, analysis, and writing. My goal is not only to prepare students for exams, but also to help them grow as thoughtful, confident global citizens.
Results + Relationships
-
I’ve helped students raise AP scores, strengthen writing portfolios, and gain admission to selective universities, but I’m equally proud of the trust I build with families. Parents know I’m invested, and students know they have a mentor who believes in their growth.
