About Lizzie
Hello! My name is Lizzie and I’m an English tutor, online teacher, and creator of resources for middle and high school teachers.
In 2019, I worked as a high school English teacher. Before that, I earned my Masters of Education, with a thesis focusing on how English teachers select texts for their classes. I also founded West Auckland Academic Mentoring (WAAM), an organisation that provides free mentoring and tutoring for students in my community. I’m all about raising the bar for our students and making thoughtful, critical literacy the norm for every child.
I left the classroom after a year of teaching because I was tired of pushing uphill in a system that sees lowering expectations as the solution to academic struggles, especially for students who are economically disadvantaged. I show students – and their teachers – that they can do more than they ever imagined, whether it’s reading Don Quixote or writing an exceptional essay. I’m on a mission to prove that we don’t have to sacrifice rigor to get students excited about academics – we just have to give them the tools to feel genuine success.

I provide tutoring for NCEA and CIE English, essay writing across all subjects, and reading and writing skills for younger students. My highly effective, knowledge-rich, mastery-based teaching approach is grounded in the great relationships I build with students. Students build literacy skills while also learning new knowledge about the world, which is more interesting and more effective than generic literacy-building activities. Students learn through a carefully sequenced approach to reading and writing skills which quickly builds students’ confidence and ensures that their progress is clearly visible.
My approach to tutoring involves:
- Concrete, actionable strategies for improving reading and writing
- Setting clear, measurable goals
- Filling in knowledge gaps
- Blending literacy activities with opportunities to learn interesting new things about the world
- Clear guidance regarding what is needed for success in NCEA and other assessment systems.
The details:
- Lessons are $80 per hour
- During lockdown, all lessons are taught via Zoom
- When lockdown ends, in-person tutoring is available for students in Auckland, and online tutoring will continue to be available wherever you are!
