Not sure how to do this with views....
Basically, I have a series of 7 categories that articles may be classed in. What I'm trying to do is to make a view where the home page will display a header for each of the 7 categories, and underneath it display a the article teaser for 3 articles under each of those categories.
So:
Category 1
- Article 1 Teaser
- - read more
- Article 2 Teaser
- - read more
- Article 3 Teaser
- - read more
Category 2
.... and so on.
Not sure how to go about doing this...

You can make block view with an argument for the taxonomy term so you can use one view for each of the category listings. Then you need to use one of many methods to add block regions to the front page to place blocks for each of the views you want to display.
There's any number of ways to display those views on the home page: you can add regions to a page-front.tpl.php file, you could embed the views directly into page-front.tpl.php (or right in page.tpl.php for that matter, just check the $is_front variable), use the http://drupal.org/project/composite module, use the http://drupal.org/project/panels module to name some of the more common methods.
