Helen is a History graduate who has a strong professional background in childcare and education. Before joining Classroom, she worked in management for a national maths and English tuition provider. This enabled her to gain a deep understanding not only of the National Curriculum and SEN, but an acute awareness of the issues which schools, parents and students may face. The impact which the right person can make on an individual child’s learning was in daily evidence, and is something Helen has translated into her work at Classroom, placing candidates who are highly tailored to the needs of students. Helen has a personal and academic interest in heritage, and spent many years working in educational and public-facing roles in museums and other heritage settings.
