About Abi
Originally from the UK with a Bachelor's in History, I taught for 4 years in Singapore before returning to university in the UK to study a master's in Sustainability. Now, I'm on my next adventure in New Zealand! I have always loved learning and have enjoyed combining this with my passion for travel, through living and teaching abroad. Having had a lot of experience as both a teacher and a student, I know how stressful studying and preparing for exams can be. That's why, I always like to make lessons fun, engaging and personable as possible. As a little bit of laughter in a study session can go a long way! When I'm not teaching, you'll find me tackling a craft project, on my yoga mat or up a mountain.

I have 4 years of teaching experience, working with students across a whole range of ages and backgrounds. I spent 4 years working in Singapore and teaching both group and 1-1 classes. I have taught students from as young as 4 years old, all the way up to A-Level, and even into adult learning. I offer lessons in phonics, reading, creative writing, poetry, essay writing, entrance exams, GCSEs and A-Levels English and History. My lessons generally involve a 5 minute warm-up, where we can chat about any academic worries and set ideal focus points for that lesson. Then, catering to the student's level and subject, we will spend time working on a range of different areas to hone in on that particular lesson’s focus. If required, homework can be set and we can spend time looking through this in the following lesson. I primarily teach English and History, while also supporting students for entrance exams. For instance, I have helped many students take their 11+ and 13+ entrance exams, by helping them plan and prepare for both the English components (reading comprehension, vocabulary, grammar, punctuation, and creative writing) as well as the verbal-reasoning component. My experiences range from students in lower primary up to secondary school, GCSE, A-Level and IB. With a Bachelor's Degree in History, a Master's Degree in Sustainability and a strong background in writing, I am also able to offer guided support in essay writing, for all levels and subjects - whether it’s a GCSE poetry paper, a personal statement or a 1st year History essay for university. Finally, I always like to make my lessons personable. Over the years, I have had great relationships with my students and can see how this has a positive impact on lesson productivity and student performance. Therefore, I always like to take the time to get to know my students and for them to get to know me too. After all, it makes lessons a lot more enjoyable and takes the edge off the tough studying! Do reach out if you have any questions!
