English Tutor - Stephanie Tupaea

According to Pear Deck, I'm an 'Inspearational educator' 😁 This certificate is given to educators who meet certain criteria, such as frequency and method of use.

Because of all the lockdowns, there have been quite a few complaints about online learning, which I totally understand! But online learning can be fun and effective; it just requires preparation and leveraging tools well-tailored to young people.

I've had a well needed rest during the holidays and now I'm raring to go and excited for all the learning ahead 😍

1 week done and dusted for my two homeschooling courses.

There is still one spot left in my Year 7 and 8 Key Language Skills course and four spots in my Year 11 Key Language Skills course. If you are interested, please get in touch.

Unfortunately I am fully booked with one-on-ones and can't accommodate any more at the current time.

Have a fantastic weekend everyone!

My most popular homeschooling course so far has been the one that came from my inquiry around language.

My Key Language Skills course is available from Year 7 to 13, but targets different skills, based on the curriculum level they are operating at. Grammar, punctuation, syntax and parts of speech are all covered in varying complexity, making it a great precursor to my writing courses: Persuasive writing and creative writing.

The mechanics and fundamentals of language are so important, because we otherwise can't write fluently and for effect.

I like to couch the teaching of language in mentor texts: sentences and paragraphs of writing that showcase excellent craft. There's no better way to learn than by an inspiring model, and I love experiencing a student's sense of pride when their sentence or paragraph is chosen for display and discussion.

My upcoming Year 7 & 8 Key Language Skills course is looking like it will be fully booked, and I already have interest for another intake in five weeks time. If you or someone you know might be interested, please send me a message so I can provide you with the course information.
