I am a MSc(Research) graduate who has been working as a Data Engineer for the past 3 years. I have been on maternity leave for the past couple of months and am excited to get back into the workforce. While in university, I was a tutor with Inspiration Education, and I tutored English and the sciences. I also taught Biochemisty at Waikato University as a tutor. I enjoy teaching as I believe the way a student is taught a subject really helps them form a connection to it, and this opens up new interests and career pathways for them.

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’ve worked in education since 2016, teaching young people about reading and writing and the outdoors. I have my Bachelors in Secondary English Education and have worked with all age groups from 5 years to 18. I care very much for each young person I work with and enjoy helping them learn more about/build more skills around whatever it is they are working towards. Most of my work is in experiential, hands on learning that emphasizes art, nature, play, creativity, independence, empathy, curiosity, and confidence in the child.

Over the past fifteen years, I have worked with students at all levels and abilities and of varying nationalities. At a personal level, I am friendly and approachable whilst always maintaining a professional attitude. I am also flexible and adaptable and prepared to adjust my teaching to match the student’s learning style. As a teacher, I take time to build a rapport with the student and to understand their goals. I take considerable pride in preparing teaching resources and designing lesson plans that align with those goals. Furthermore, I reflect on all my lessons and continually evaluate my methods to ensure my students are receiving the very best tuition and that, as a teacher, I am working towards continuous improvement.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does NCEA English tutoring cost?
Rates vary by tutor experience, level and location. As a general New Zealand market guide, not a figure calculated from NCEATutor's own tutors, NCEA English tutoring tends to fall in the $40-70/hour range, with Scholarship-level and more experienced tutors toward the top. Each tutor sets and lists their own hourly rate on their profile - check there for the real number before you get in touch.
What topics do NCEA English tutors cover?
NCEA English tutors cover essay writing, reading comprehension, creative writing, trigonometry, geometry, probability, and mathematical reasoning. They help with both internal assessments and external exams for Levels 1, 2, 3, and Scholarship.
Should I choose online or face-to-face English tutoring?
Online English tutoring works excellently with screen sharing for working through problems together. It offers more tutor options and is typically cheaper. Face-to-face may be better if you prefer working side-by-side on a physical whiteboard.
How can I tell if a English tutor is qualified?
Look for tutors who achieved Excellence in NCEA English themselves, have a relevant university degree (English, Education, Arts), and have proven experience helping students improve grades. Read their reviews for specific grade improvements.
