English Tutor - Stephanie Tupaea

Teaching online means that I can connect with students anywhere! There's no inconvenience or money spent in having to travel out to each other, and you can learn from the comforts of your own home. Check out my Kiwi students below. One of them isn't on there, as she is in Zimbabwe at the moment, but due to the brilliance of technology, I am still able to teach her.

Want to know what type of assessment feedback I can provide?

This is a recent example from my Year 7 and 8 Key Language Skills Course. Each category is broken down in detail, with strengths and areas for improvement noted. On the next page of the Progress Report, I also make an overall comment on the child's attitude towards learning and broader observations of readiness.

My attitude has always been that assessment (even summative) is FOR learning, so feedforward is a necessity. To me, it's not just about growing their English ability, but nurturing their passion for life-long learning. Intelligence isn't a fixed commodity; it's grown through persistence and a curious mindset: "Our studies show that teaching people to have a growth mindset, which encourages a focus on effort rather than intelligence or talent, helps make them into high achievers in school and in life" (Carol Dweck, n.d.)
