from Auckland
I am a highly experienced Primary teacher who has worked in schools off and on since 1994. I am 53 with one 17 year old son and live out East in Howick. I work full time in a school as a release teacher so have an extremely satisfying and stimulating job. I teach up to 5 different classes a week. I am a play based enthusiast which is very successful in all areas of my teaching. I have tutored in the past and have a particular strength in Literacy, however still strong in Numeracy teaching. Having taught for many years I have a warm, inclusive personality and build a rapport with children very quickly. I’m articulate, organised and have a great sense of humour!

As I mentioned above, I have taught in a variety of roles over the past thirty years. I have taught in a number of schools over Auckland in full time, part time, release and relieving positions. I enjoy all aspects of music and in the past have led choirs and relieved for a number of class based music teachers in local schools . My biggest professional love is play based learning. I discovered this six years ago, did research and went on a course. I ran my own PBL new entrant classroom for 18 months and it was fabulous. I am currently working as a full time release teacher and teach NE- Year 6. I also babysit regularly for two families - an 18 month old boy and 10/12 year old siblings.
