We have been using The Story Room for online tutoring by Kerry for the last couple of years and, whilst in the midst of 11+ preparation, monthly Creative Writing sessions,... read more Succeed 11 Plus courses and mock exams. The Succeed 11 Plus courses and mock exams were a great resource for us. Helena is a wonderful tutor. Firm but fair and very engaging and makes sure that every child participates in the sessions.

I’m confident that his creative writing skills wouldn’t be where they are today without the valuable lessons and encouragement Helena and the Storyroom team have provided.

At the time he was going through a really challenging transition and creative writing... read more was introduced to him as an outlet. That outlet became his passion and that passion has fuelled his purpose. Just recently, now aged 21, Amario spoke of Helena at an event and shared how his time at the Story Room shaped his life.
