What we teach

We teach literacy, maths and English as a second language (ESOL) through personalised online lessons for children and adults. Our teaching focuses on building understanding and confidence, guided by deep classroom experience and specialist learning support expertise.

  • For primary school aged children (approximately ages 5–11), I provide learning support in literacy, maths and ESOL, with a focus on confidence, clarity and access to learning.


    Many children today struggle not because they lack potential, but because they need an approach that makes learning accessible, confidence-building, and rewarding. I provide online 1:1 or small-group lessons that help students catch up, keep up, and feel capable.

    Who this is for:

    • Students falling behind at school

    • Students with learning gaps or confidence challenges

    • Students who need a structured, experienced teacher’s insight (not exam coaching)

    • Students with learning differences difficulties

    What we focus on:

    • ESOL students accessing classroom language

    • Maths foundations & confidence

    • Reading, writing & spelling support

    • Building comprehension and self-belief

    Quick benefits:

    • Online 1:1 or small groups

    • Personalised learning pathways

    • Support from a highly experienced, specialist teacher

  • For lower secondary school–aged students (approximately ages 12–16), I offer learning support in literacy, maths and ESOL, aligned with classroom learning and the New Zealand Curriculum.

  • English language learning for adults is different from school tutoring.

Lessons are personalised to your goals and build real-world confidence and competence.

    Why this works:
    With over 20 years’ professional experience plus deep educational expertise, I teach English that works in real life - not just in textbooks.
