New Zealand native English speaking primary school educator, with 4 years of teaching experience. Expertise in gymnastics coaching, fostering fun learning experiences.

Hello, I'm Courtney, a native English speaker from New Zealand. I am a qualified primary school teacher with four years of experience. Familiar with the Cambridge curriculum, I'm well-equipped to provide tailored guidance for students pursuing this educational path. I also have experience working in kindergatens which allowed me to gain insights into early childhood development and education. I've honed my skills in creating engaging and effective learning environments for young minds.

My journey in education began with coaching. I was a competitive gymnast for several years and passing on my knowledge to others is what sparked my love of teaching. I've spent over ten years as a gymnastics coach. Working with a variety of ages and abilities from two to sixteen years old, including those with special needs. This experience has enriched my ability to adapt to diverse learning styles and foster growth in all students.

Relationship building is at the forefront of my teaching, allowing me to connect with students on a personal level. My teaching methodology centers on patience, adaptability, creativity, and placing students at the helm of their learning journey. I prioritize effective communication and foster an environment where curiosity and inquiry-based learning thrive.

Whether I'm nannying, babysitting, or tutoring, my commitment to nurturing young minds remains unwavering. My personality traits include being fun-loving, approachable, detail-oriented and organised. I take pride in making learning enjoyable.
