Our Story
Primary aged children can get that extra boost to help them understand maths concepts, giving them confidence and the ability to catch up if they’re falling behind. For older students studying towards New Zealand NCEA Levels 1-3 and the Cambridge International Examinations (IGCSE), we provide Revision Workshops and Exam Preparation in Terms 3 & 4. To keep things on track, we can also provide catch up sessions for you if you’ve been out of the classroom. Zest 4 Maths can assist if you need to prepare for the Police or the New Zealand Defence Force (Navy, Army and Airforce) entrance aptitude tests or any other course or employment requiring mathematics. We look forward to helping you soon.
My journey towards teaching started when my son started school and my daughter started preschool. I went into my children’s school as a volunteer to support students with their mathematics learning. I loved it and the feedback from the students, their parents and their teacher was awesome. This inspired me to do a mathematics degree. I thoroughly enjoyed being back in the classroom learning myself and as usual put in 100% effort to be awarded a Bachelor of Science First Class Honours degree in Mathematics. During this time I also did private mathematics tuition for primary and secondary school students.
A week after graduating, my family and I moved to New Zealand to start a new chapter of our lives. I graduated from the University of Otago with a Graduate Diploma of Teaching in Secondary Education and was also awarded a Certificate for Teaching Practice Excellence by the Academic Committee. I taught at Aparima College, Riverton and was the Head of the mathematics department for 8 years.
I am passionate in helping students to:
- Understand the mathematics they are learning
- Tackle new topics with confidence and enjoyment
- Exceed their expectations
