Personal Description: I am a 26yo female, a fully qualified English teacher currently employed in a New Zealand secondary school. I have a Graduate Diploma in Secondary Teaching, a Bachelor of Communications in Media and Journalism and I also have a Graduate Diploma in English Literature. I have a very competent subject knowledge and I have experience teaching a range of students in a variety of environments. I am also very familiar with the NZ curriculum requirements.

I am looking for 1-2 students to tutor on week-day evenings on an on-going basis.

Tutoring Experience: I am a fully qualified English and Media Studies teacher so I have experience in teaching English and Media to large classes and I also have 1.5 years of one-on-one tutoring experience.

All students that I have tutored in the past have managed to substantially increase their grades due to being able to focus on basic English and writing skills that tutoring allows for.

Tutoring Approach: Often the first session is mostly about getting an idea about what the student needs help with and making a plan of attack. Tutorials will be planned to a degree, with material to be explained given to me in advance. For example, if there is a book I need to read/a film I need to watch in order to teach effectively.

I can help students with any aspect of English including creative writing, comprehension skills, general writing and essay writing skills. I can also help students prepare for exams and can teach them tried and tested techniques to help them achieve in exams.

I like to keep my tutoring sessions student-centered, so that my students learn to think through problems on their own. Students should be prepared to have homework assignments to do each week.
