NCEA Tutors
Who fit your goals

Hi everyone! 👋 I’m Daniel, a first-year medical student at UNSW, offering personalised tutoring for UCAT, medical/dental interviews, and NCEA subjects. I graduated from high school in New Zealand (2023), finishing a year early through the accelerated programme, and achieved an ATAR of 99.5 (99.95 with EAS). After scoring 2880 (~83rd percentile) on my first UCAT attempt with minimal prep, I took a gap year, worked part-time as a cashier, refined my strategies, and lifted my score to 3170 (94th percentile), with full marks in Quantitative Reasoning (900) and a 707 SJT. 🎯 This earned me offers from UNSW Medicine and UQ Dentistry, plus interviews at Notre Dame Sydney and Griffith. Through experience and targeted practice, I’ve developed efficient study methods, time-saving UCAT techniques, and interview strategies that helped me succeed and can help you do the same. ✅ UCAT section-specific strategies ✅ Interview mock practice + feedback ✅ NCEA tutoring (Economics, Biology, etc.)

I am a highly experienced and certified teacher with a New Zealand teaching license, currently teaching Economics, Business Studies, Accounting, Literacy, and English Language (including PTE and IELTS preparation) at a secondary school in Auckland. With multiple Master’s degrees ( MBA, MA , and PGCE from the UK) and a strong background in both academic and applied education, I bring deep subject knowledge and a passion for helping students achieve their full potential. I am known for my ability to simplify complex concepts and present them in a way that students can easily understand and apply. My teaching philosophy is centred on creating an engaging, supportive learning environment where every student can succeed — regardless of their starting point. I can guarantee that your child will make progress and get his or her desired grade in the exam.

I am Takatoki, a rising first-year university student studying for a Bachelor of Commerce. Having tutored for many years, I have learnt the value of sharing my passion for current affairs with students to keep their subjects engrossing and applicable to the real world - while helping them prepare for the level of context required to succeed in exams. Taking advantage of the one-to-one nature of private tuition, I deliver conversation-led lessons that explore the syllabus in a collaborative way, prompting students to engage with the subject and its importance properly. To help students perform in exams, I spend a large portion of a lesson helping a student plan and begin to write an essay or short answer in response to past exam questions. Having represented New Zealand at the Australasian Economics Olympiad, I can also offer tutoring to students who are looking to compete for a spot on future national teams for both the preliminary and final round.
