Kia ora! I’m Lorraine, an experienced English and ESOL tutor currently working in after-school care with primary students. I specialise in supporting learners from primary to secondary level, including NCEA, Cambridge, and ESOL students, as well as international learners who need extra English support.
I offer both online and in-person lessons in Auckland. My teaching style is patient, engaging, and adaptable to each student’s needs. I believe learning should be enjoyable, practical, and confidence-building.

About
I enjoy working with children and young people, helping them build confidence and skills through interactive learning. Outside of teaching, I love reading, playing tennis, and exploring different cultures with my family. These interests often inspire my lessons and allow me to connect with students in creative ways.
