Tutoring Experience
Over the past 20 years, I've primarily worked as a private, one-to-one maths tutor, tutoring students of all ages and abilities across New Zealand, Australia and the USA. While I often work with top high school maths students, I also regularly work with those who find maths challenging. I am happy to take on any student regardless of their ability. I also have experience tutoring neurodiverse students, including students with autism, ADHD, and learning disabilities.
​
At high school level, I have experience tutoring all exam systems offered in New Zealand, including NCEA, NCEA scholarship, Cambridge, and IB, as well as the American SAT and AP exams. At university level, I have tutored students across a vast range of university papers, spanning maths, statistics, psychology, and computer science.
​
I frequently work with adult students who need to sit aptitude tests to gain entry into certain job training programs, or take foundation papers before going to University.
​
Outside of my private work, I have been employed by the University of Auckland Math department to take tutorials and grade papers for first-year math papers. I also previously took group classes for Year 7 and 8 students with EduExperts in Auckland, preparing students for Year 9 school entrance exams. I now take several classes at the Christchurch branch, with a focus on preparing talented students for math competitions, including the Australian Math Competition (AMC), Otago Problem Solving, ICAS, APSMO, and Cantamaths.
​
Following my time on the NZIMO team, I stayed involved with the New Zealand Olympiad program for several years, grading papers for both the NZ Olympiad program and the Auckland Maths Olympiad. I now coach Olympiad students privately, with a long-term student recently winning a Silver medal at the IMO, and several others winning medals in the New Zealand Math Olympiad.

​
"Outstanding! Highly knowledgeable, insightful/inspiring teacher and very supportive. Thoroughly recommend." (Ben, Parent)
"Eve is awesome—I'm an adult who wanted to refresh much of the math I took in high school but in many cases didn't feel confident in when I was younger, which has impacted some of my work. It has been such a pleasure learning from Eve and regaining much of my confidence and learning to enjoy math again. Eve is very, very well qualified and has a really deep teaching expertise. I can't recommend Eve enough!" (Jay, Adult student)​
