(17 reviews)

Personal Description:

I received my masters degree in maths (with first class honors) from the University of Auckland in 2014, and went on to complete my Postgraduate Diploma in Education in 2015. I have been teaching and tutoring maths and physics since 2011. Since getting my degree I have taught at University and private schools. In 2020 I worked with the company Desmos to create online activities to enhance the maths education experience for young New Zealanders :). Over the past few years I've studied extensively the best practices for delivering online education and use the best equipment and online education software.

I always try to be personable and build relationships with young students. I give students a chance to think for themselves and show me what they have learned. I'm a big believer in learning through worked examples and problems. I have a huge database of resources, which I utilize in lessons and expert professional equipment to support online tuition. I keep things fun and personable, yet on track for learning. I generally set homework for students to reinforce and consolidate what they've learned in class.

Tutoring Experience:

My teaching experience spans over 12 years. In 2011, while still a University undergraduate I started tutoring high school and university mathematics. I worked for the University of Auckland as a tutor for small classes from 2011-2014. In 2013-14 I was the head tutor at The University of Auckland for MATHS108 and MATHS208.

In 2015 I completed a Postgraduate Diploma in Mathematics Education and went on to start a professional teaching career, teaching maths at Kristin School on the North Shore.

In 2018 I was the recipient of the Ernest Duncan Award, an award for the outstanding contribution for online maths education.
