Hi, I'm Jess - a New Zealand-trained secondary school English teacher with more than seven years experience teaching and tutoring NCEA English Levels 1-3. 

As a native English speaker growing up in Auckland, I attended Westlake Girls High School, where I excelled within both the NCEA and Cambridge systems. I received top grades in English and History (including First in New Zealand for Cambridge AS Level History) and passed the challenging NZQA scholarship exams for English, History and Geography in my final year of high school. I subsequently attended the University of Auckland, on a scholarship, and graduated with two degrees (Law & Arts) in 2014.

After completing my teacher training in 2015, I taught NCEA English Levels 1-3 at an Auckland high school for two years, then English Literature & Grammar for a year in Taiwan. I came back to NZ during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic and taught junior English and ESOL (Years 7-10) for six months at an East Auckland school. For the past two years, I have been teaching NCEA English Levels 1-3 again, with fantastic results, in the mighty Waikato. From 2015-2022, in my spare time, I also tutored NCEA English to a myriad of students, both face-to-face and online.

Let me also help you get better grades in your NCEA internals and externals this year. Get in touch today :)
