Personal Description: I am an inquisitive and adaptable person. I enjoy learning and sharing knowledge. I have four younger siblings so can relate and converse well with younger people. I have tutoring experience in NZ.

I currently work at Ardmore Airport as an Aeronautical Engineer. I design and certify modifications for all types of aircraft. This work ranges from installation of passenger seats in a 737 freighter to night vision goggles for the Westpac rescue helicopters. I really enjoy this work and find it challenging and creative.

I have studied at four Universities (Canterbury, Waikato, Nottingham (UK), Applied Sciences University,(Austria)) during various exchanges. I completed my Bachelors from Canterbury and undertook research on a scholarship to the UK and Austria.

Tutoring Experience: Personal Tutor at Rangi Ruru (Decile 10) High School, Christchurch. I tutored Maths and Graphics/Design while studying for my BE from Canterbury University

Personal tutor around Auckland beginning in 2009.

Tutoring Approach: I believe in learning for understanding. This allows the greatest use and manipulation of knowledge to achieve outstanding results. I believe this also develops problem solving ability to think outside the square.

I can help students to work through given tasks or problems, teaching them to break the problem down into small, easily managable chunks. This allows a large complex question or request to be easily "digested".

I believe these methods allow for the greatest possible achievement in school and other study, but just as importantly, these skills can be directly applied in the real world of employment and life in general.

I promote a can do attitude and encourage students to tackle any problem. Often people can be limited by their own confidence in their abilities.

Feel free to get in touch and give me a call to discuss your goals, tutoring if you need it and anything else you think I can help with.
