As Covid-19 accelerated the shift from classroom learning to online education, HH Enterprises was founded to provide a much needed service of personalised one on one tutoring to students by professionals via an online platform.

Since 2019, HH Enterprises has continued to grow due to positive feedback and client reviews. The business now has several employees to form a specialised team of tutors specialising in Latin, French and English tutoring.

We cater to students of all ages and of all learning needs.

Our specialised team of tutors have been hand selected to ensure the highest quality of education is received by our clients. All tutors are trained by HH Enterprises founder Harriet and follow a curriculum also designed and tested by Harriet, this allows a proven product to be provided and moulded to each students requirements. All tutors have studied their perspective fields through senior school and have have and/or are studying at a tertiary level.

We believe in providing a tailored method of learning to each individual student. One on one tutoring is so effective because it is directed right to where the students needs and requirements are instead of trying to fit the student into a broader learning system.

For tutoring sessions, we use Zoom/ Microsoft teams which is an easy application to download (like Skype but more features) as it enables features such as share screen, chat and annotations. We are familiar with and have online access to most Latin courses used in schools (Oxford, Cambridge, Suburani, VSL) but also happy to supplement what is being covered at school with our own course materials.

We love languages and think that being exposing to another language and culture helps build self identity and confidence. We pride ourselves on being approachable flexible and understanding. We will help you to excel in your chosen subject.Contact
