📚 Literacy Tutoring (Years 1–8)

I specialise in Structured Literacy and Synthetic Phonics, using systematic, explicit teaching approaches that are aligned with current best practice and the new NZ curriculum.

Support includes:

• Synthetic phonics instruction

• Decoding and encoding skills

• Spelling development

• Reading fluency

• Reading comprehension

• Writing structure and organisation

• Vocabulary development

Structured Literacy is particularly effective for students who:

• Are struggling with reading or spelling

• Have dyslexia or suspected literacy difficulties

• Need clear, step-by-step instruction

• Have gaps in foundational skills

Sessions are carefully sequenced to build strong foundations and restore confidence in reading and writing.

🧮 Maths Tutoring (Years 1–8)

Mathematics support focuses on building deep understanding, not just memorising procedures.

Support includes:

• Number knowledge and place value

• Basic facts and strategy development

• Addition, subtraction, multiplication and division

• Fractions and decimals

• Problem-solving skills

• Preparation for assessments

I am familiar with the New Zealand Curriculum and ensure tutoring aligns with classroom expectations while addressing individual learning gaps.
