About Laura

I'm a Visual Communication Designer & Teacher dedicated to fostering creative competence in every learner. With a background in design and education, I believe in creating an inclusive and inspiring environment where creativity flourishes organically. Life is better when we can, not only read and respond to the visual world around us, but express ourselves and our ideas with unique visual impact.

As a person with ADHD, I live and breath the unique strengths and challenges that come with neurodiversity. My goal is to create a space where all students feel seen, capable, and safe to explore their creativity. Let's harness the power of divergent ways of thinking and be "neurospicy" together!

Qualifications/Experience:
- Bachelor of Design, majoring in Visual Communication Design, specialising in Advertising (Massey University)
- Graduate Diploma of Teaching (Secondary) in Visual Arts and Technology (Victoria University)
- Over 5 years of experience teaching intermediate and secondary levels
- Trained in restorative practice and experienced in working with neurodiverse students
- Passionate about supporting Māori students and dedicated to integrating tikanga and te reo Māori into lessons
- First Aid trained

About the lesson

As a tutor, I specialise in personalised one-on-one instruction, prioritising the mental and emotional wellbeing of learners of all ages. My teaching style emphasises trust, positive energy, and engaging conversations to create a dynamic learning environment. By incorporating humour and accountability, I foster a growth mindset and maintain high expectations for all students, fostering an environment where "can't" isn't in our vocabulary.

Whether you're passionate about painting, brand design, marketing, content writing, film editing, design ethics/psychology, or just general arts and crafts, I'm here to guide you. From mastering traditional techniques to navigating digital tools, I provide comprehensive support for your creative journey. Embrace critical thinking, problem solving, and design methodologies, whether it's for personal growth or educational enrichment.

As a qualified secondary teacher I can support in the New Zealand Curriculum areas of Art, Design, and Digital Technologies. With experience in a range of formal and informal learning environments, I will focus on your wellbeing, personality, and strengths to foster your creative competence and visual literacy.
