I am delighted to be able to teach you or your child English! I am deeply passionate about English, having recently finished my Honours degree in English literature, and hope one day to become an academic in English. Currently I live in Sumner, New Zealand, and am happy to teach in Christchurch and Banks Peninsula.
I am happy to teach English either as a school or university subject, or as a second language, depending on your needs.
I have experience teaching a variety of different age groups, including NCEA preparation and primary level English. I have received immensely positive feedback. My secondary students in particular, have told me that my approach has immensely clarified such mystifying topics as essay writing, critical readings, and how to navigate NCEA assignments.
I have extensive experience with the NCEA system, having gained a Level 3 excellence endorsement, and scholarships in English, Classics, and History.
Additionally, I am also experienced with helping second language speakers. I have volunteered as a conversation leader with my University's ESL centre, and also often help out non-native speaker friends with proofreading assignments, etc. I also speak relatively fluent German and low intermediate Spanish, if this is of help.
My approach is friendly, patient, and dedicated to the needs of my students. I am available evenings, weekends, and some afternoons.
I look forward to meeting you and hope I can help you develop your English skills.

My teaching method is always student-directed, always accommodating to the student's interests and needs.
For younger children, I find a focus on reading stories and creative writing to be most productive. For NCEA students, I like to focus on essay writing skills, as well as close-reading texts together in order to develop these skills. For all age levels,including ESL, I use short homework assignments to develop writing skills.
