Our Philosophy

Mount Helicon was the place where the muses lived in the ancient mythology of Greece. The denizens of learning and inspiration surveyed the landscape around them, secure in their ability to bestow knowledge and wisdom to those who sought it.

Mount Helicon was a place where intelligence and creativity could meet. Helicon View Learning is where the highest levels of academic tuition combine with original and exciting creative and artistic teaching.

Mentorship and personal development are central to our ethos, and adults will find as much to interest them as our younger students.

Brought to you by the same team as Griffin and Bell Education, Helicon View aims to guide you through the changing academic landscape, to help you to chart a course for yourself and your family.

Our no. 1 goal is to enable the student to fulfil their full potential.

 
WHAT MAKES A GOOD TUTOR?

We believe that private tuition should provide the student with the time and the support they need to learn effectively. When a tutor has the experience, the skills and the personal qualities to help the student work productively, results invariably follow.

A good tutor will begin by assessing the student's academic progress, their confidence levels and their organisational skills. Sparking the student's inspiration is the next step.

From there, successful tutors use their lessons and courses to create a journey guided by the thrill of discovery and clear academic goals. They understand that they must work in synch with the student's classwork or their professional work. And they understand the importance of clear feedback, that helps to orientate students.

We are always on hand to offer support and advice to tutors. Together we offer you a unique service.

 
THE GLOBAL VIEW

In a world in which the influence that cultures and continents have on one another grows stronger by the day, we believe that education must become more inventive, more resilient and more engaging.

Today's students will be strengthened by access to sources of learning from more than one part of the world: from Mandarin to foreign exchange trips; from innovative software to online lectures; from visiting tutors to international universities. The most ambitious teachers and companies will seek to become leaders in, or to draw influence from, the new network of global education.
