Personal Description:

I am a qualified speech-language therapist working in the education sector. I aim to understand and meet the unique needs of all students. I tutor English and Maths.

I am interested in supporting students in Years 1-3 with their language and literacy skills. I can support primary school level comprehension and text decoding, due to knowledge gained during my degree. This includes the early reading skills, like letter sound knowledge and sight words, but also building vocabulary and language level needed to understand a variety of texts. Due to my degree, I am also skilled at supporting students who are learning English as a second language.

I also remain passionate about maths. I am interested in supporting students with their number knowledge, algebra, trigonometry, and graph skills up to NCEA Level 1 / Early iGCSE skills.

Tutoring Experience:

During my high school and university years, I tutored and mentored many students. I also support and engage the students I work with, as a speech-language therapist, in various learning activities. The needs of the learner always come first when it comes to teaching strategies and methods. I have tutored primary and secondary school students before and supported them to practice and become more confident in their skills, leading to improved academic success and wellbeing

Tutoring Approach:

Whether the student learns best audibly, visually or by writing, I’ll tailor activities and explanations to them. I’ll work in a approachable and constructive way so that they don’t feel discouraged when learning can be difficult. A holistic approach, in my opinion, is the best approach.
