About Tessa
I graduated high school at ACG Parnell College as Head Girl and Dux, and received three Top in New Zealand awards in my Cambridge examinations for essay-based subjects (AS and A2 English Literature and AS Drama). I'm currently studying Law, Communications and Chinese at the University of Auckland, and 2025 will be my fifth year tutoring! :)

Ever since studying literature in high school, I’ve had a great passion for it. I received Top in New Zealand at both AS and A2 level, and use my first-hand experience studying Cambridge Lit to share with students my insights about what gets the top grade. I've been tutoring for the past four years, with the majority of my students receiving an A or A* (most coming from a C or B grade), and one even receiving Top in New Zealand!
I read each student’s assigned texts myself, so that in addition to general essay-writing and language analysis skills, we’re covering what they’ll be examined on at the end of the year. For my weekly students, I’m totally happy to be contacted outside of lesson hours to answer questions and provide whatever extra support they need. If they write practice essays during the week, I'll mark those in my own time too.
I'm a patient, friendly teacher, who places a lot of value on creating an encouraging, fun environment for students to open up and engage. Literature is an interesting subject that involves analysing and commenting on a great variety of topics/elements of life, so making our lessons a space where students feel confident to share is super important to me. I graduated high school as Dux and Head Girl, am super conscientious, communicative and passionate- but most importantly, I care deeply about students feeling confident in their ability to succeed, and where I can, help them develop a love for literature too.

Recommendations
Recommendations come from relatives, friends and acquaintances of the tutor.
Tessa has been my English IGCSE tutor for about a year. She is incredibly kind and consistently lively, helping students become interested and active in whatever she teaches. I would recommend her because of her ability to connect with students as well as effectively teach them with confidence.
Tessa is always supportive and friendly, with intelligence beyond her years. She identifies your weaknesses well and also praises your strengths, meaning she can tailor her tutoring to you. Her modern twist in lessons also make them enjoyable and entertaining. She is willing to help 24/7, answering emails about any questions you might have out of lesson times. Overall, I recommend Tessa for anyone looking for an English tutor who not only knows the content really well but can also teach in a modern and interesting way!
Tessa is an extremely personable and conscientious tutor who is devoted to helping her students achieve their full potential. She is passionate, kind and smart and she puts in the extra time to be well equipped for each session. She is very adaptable to different levels and needs. We highly recommend her.
Tessa is a fabulous tutor. She engages with her students to make her lessons relaxing and fun, and from this builds a base of support and encouragement. She really knows her stuff and I've known her to have great success with previous students.
