Information About Kelly

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.

Qualifications:
  • 2011: Graduate Diploma in Secondary Teaching (AUT - July 2010) - AUT (Other)
  • 2010: Graduate Diploma in English Literature (University of Auckland) - University of Auckland (Other)
  • 2009: Bachelor of Communcation major in Journalism and Media Studies (Massey University) - Massey University (Bachelors)

From Helen (5/5): Very beneficail. Is working out well.

From Craig (5/5): She is an excellent tutor!!!! With her help I was able to gain all my external English credits. VERY HAPPY!

From Zachary (5/5): Kelly it seems you really tuned in to what the kid's needed and was able to immediately help them with their english assignments. I know it's early days but I'm sure having you there twice a week to bounce things off and learn from will be just what they need to succeed. Thank you!

From Louise (5/5): kelly responded to my initial email very quickly and all contact has been very professional.
She has tutored William 3 times so far and she seems to have a natural ability to teach clearly and with enthusiasm.
William is enjoying the tutorials and finding them helpful despite being in a subject he does not enjoy very much.

From Rosie (5/5): Kelly has been very reliable, motivated, comes to each session prepared and makes full use of the time. There have only been two sessions thus far but I'm happy with how the lessons are going.
