Information About Regina - Regina

Personal Description:

I am an outgoing and engaging adult who loves reading, films and chatting. I have three teenage children who all live at home and are typical, busy teens. I have tutored on and off over the years and find the 1:1 sessions can really help focus a student come to an understanding as to what to expect and how they can best approach their learning.

Tutoring Experience:

I have been teaching in NZ for over 25 years. I have taught drama and social studies but my first love is English. I always aim to bring to the student's attention the wide benefits of the subject so that they understand words are power and the power is theirs. Reading is crucial and I love engaging students with a wide range of texts. I love the classics but love to delve into modern literature as well. I have taught at all girls' schools as well as all boys'. I think teens are great, annoying sometimes, but love being part of their journey to adulthood. I have worked with a wide range of students and have a kete of ideas to help anyone with learning barriers such as dyslexia.

Tutoring Approach:

Personal, conversational and needs driven. Tell me what you find hard and I will find a way to break it down into smaller chunks so you can figure it out.
