About Helene
Experience: 4 yrs
Hello All! My name is Helene . I am a recent PhD graduate from the Annenberg School for Communication at the University of Pennsylvania with years of experience teaching and tutoring in various subjects ranging from English reading and composition, social studies, test prep, college admissions, and mathematics. My passion is in tutoring complex skills like research, writing, critical thinking, and logic - those skills that students are not going to master through taking one course or reading one book, but that will carry them through school and college and beyond and help them interact with the world around them in a competent and rewarding way. I find these are the types of skills that are best learned one-on-one, through fostering a strong relationship with a mentor who can mediate these skills for us.
Most recent review
I’ve been working with Helene throughout my graduate application process and she has honestly been such a steady source of help. She replies quickly and is super easy to talk to. I always felt comfortable asking questions or changing my mind as she adapts really well depending on what you need. Her feedback on my writing has been especially helpful. She offers sharp and thoughtful comments that made me rethink my structure and clarify my ideas without ever feeling overwhelming. Whenever I got stuck or stressed about decisions, she gave honest, grounded advice that helped me see things more clearly. Overall, working with Helene has made this whole process so much manageable. Having someone so reliable like her to check in with, ask questions, and even share the mental load with made a huge difference. I definitely recommend Helene if you’re preparing graduate applications and want supportive and genuinely insightful guidance.
