My Mission & Qualifications



My mission is to help as many students as possible make sense of Maths through positive teaching and fun, hands-on activities.  

Because I am limited to the hours after school, and because working on Maths really is more fun in groups, I mostly teach small groups of six students at a time, with students being grouped roughly by age/ability.

I only consider teaching students privately if I have no class that could meet their needs.

I am a registered NZ secondary teacher with a current Full Practicing Certificate to teach Years 7 to 13.

In 2012 I was awarded a Teach NZ scholarship for the University of Otago College of Education Diploma in Teaching: Junior, Senior and Year 13 Maths.

Before that I earned a BA from Northwestern University in Chicago, Illinois, a Diploma in TEFL from Moray House College of Education in Edinburgh, Scotland and a Masters in Applied Linguistics from the University of Leicester, in Leicester, England.
