Law graduate with 5 years of tutoring experience offering English classes in Auckland

Fiona's CV

I have over five years of relevant tutoring experience. Between 2016 and 2017 I worked as a tutor for MyTuition, tutoring English, History and Economics from NCEA Level 1 to Level 3. All my students saw dramatic improvement and I was awarded Tutor of the Week.

I have a thorough understanding of the the NCEA curriculum from my own background. I was in the top 3% of scholars for all three years and achieved NCEA endorsed with Excellence from Levels 1-3, and subject Excellence endorsement in Economics, amongst others. I also received three NCEA scholarships in Economics, English and History. I am currently tutoring a Year 12 student in Level 2 Economics.

Recently, up until Covid-19 I worked as a private English tutor for two international students, for 18 months, who attend a prestigious central Auckland private high school. They both improved significantly and are now able to communicate fluently in English and perform on a similar level to local students in exams.

Prior to this I tutored English at a community centre on Saturdays for three months in 2016. In Year 13, I was an academic mentor to Year 12 students and assisted them with NCEA queries, including in Economics. I am currently employed as a Law Tutor by Acetutor, with the aim of helping students achieve A/A+ grades in their law papers.

I also obtained the CELTA qualification and the NZ Certificate in Language Teaching in 2018. I am able to work confidently with either a given curriculum or provide my own teaching resources, and these years of tutoring experience mean I am familiar with a range of learning styles and speeds and can adapt my modality to suit the student.
