Maggie

Hiya! I'm Maggie and I have been tutoring with AHeadStart for the past 3 years alongside study. This year I will be working towards a Master of Linguistics at the University of Canterbury. My areas of research in my studies are child language acquisition and literacy development, and I’m really looking forward to delving deeper into them this year! 

With AHeadStart, I tutor primary school students in the core topics of English (reading, writing, spelling) and Mathematics, ensuring that each student can feel confident in their work at school. I also tutor high school students in English, Statistics, and Drama all up to NCEA Level 3. For all NCEA subjects that I tutor, I am proud of my results in school and believe I have a great understanding of what is required to do well in the standards. I completed NCEA at Burnside High School in 2017 with excellence endorsements for both Level 1 and Level 2 as well as a merit endorsement for Level 3.

Outside of study, I am a huge fan of skiing and anything winter. I also love to read, swim, cook (and eat!). I’m passionate about helping students tackle their subjects and getting the results they’re aiming for, as well as having some fun along the way!
