Personal Description:
I live in Napier and have two grown up children who live and work in Wellington. I love teaching and supporting students who need some extra help in their literacy, numeracy or academic study skills.
Tutoring Experience:
I have worked for approximately 23 years as a Private Tutor in literacy, numeracy and learning disabilities/dyslexia. I also have been in a role of computer support to tertiary level students. Other support I can provide is learning advice and assignment writing, preparation for tests for employment for tertiary and/or adult students.
Tutoring Approach:
I have a passion for supporting students of any age, culture and diverse abilities. I enjoy being able to help students to succeed in an quiet one to one environment and understand that this environment allows me to encourage and develop learning areas that may be of difficulty to them.
