About
What is HH Enterprises?
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.
Founder and CEO
My name is Harriet Houston. In 2019 as Covid was taking a hold of the world and moving education to an online landscape, I moved to the country to live on my now husband's property near Inverell, NSW. This move, along with the uncertain circumstances of a global pandemic motivated me to set up my own online tutoring business to help as many students as I could to stay on track and to feel engaged and motivated in their studies.

Reviews
Harriet has been of invaluable help for my daughter in her preparation for her Year 9 Latin exam. My daughter was not enjoying Latin, but she has really enjoyed the sessions with Harriet. She particularly likes Harriet's teaching style, which she finds easy to understand, making Latin enjoyable. We are so glad we found her and I highly recommend Harriet as a Latin tutor.

Character references
Harriet is a talented linguist and a highly experienced language teacher who is committed to maximising the potential of all students. She has extensive HSC teaching experience in both Latin and French and a vast number of her students go on to study languages at a tertiary level. Harriet is positive, personable, proactive and adept at building strong relationships with all students. I do not hesitate to recommend her services for all tutoring and individual study needs.

Harriet is a great educator with a wealth of teaching experience. More than that, she's a brilliant communicator who is able to break difficult ideas down in a way that makes it easier for students to understand - staying patient in the process. Her lived experience in France means she understands the cultural nuances that come with a new language, so really, you're learning way more than just what's in a textbook.
