Tutor

I studied French in NZ high school, lived in France for a while and then came back to NZ to do a degree in French (BA). I have been an active member of the Alliance Francaise in Wellington for a long time and I enjoy practicing my French as much as I can. I read French books, listen to the weekly news from France in French (podcasts), I use it in emails and I always stop and talk to people when I hear them speaking French in the street.

Tutoring Experience:

I have tutored nieces and nephews and kids of friends in French as they pass through high school. The kids seem to enjoy it, and I certainly do. I also have 10 years experience as a Brownie leader (mini Girl Guides – from 7-10years old), 5 years of which I was running a pack of 25 girls on my own, with only teenagers to help out. Unlike our native tongues which we pick up by osmosis from our parents as babies, I am well familiar with the way French is taught as a second language in NZ, having gone through the system myself.

Tutoring Approach:

I do a free assessment first, to check the level needed, and to see if I suit you.
I like to ask questions and help my students come up with their own answers. I try to guide them to a solution without actually telling them what to do – this seems natural to me as it fits closely with my coaching business – Envogue Coaching Ltd. I also end up speaking French a fair bit during the lessons, as it comes so naturally to me. I believe this helps my students understand more vocabulary than they would normally get taught in school. Past students have said this has helped them understand spoken french much faster than their peers.

Skills

My main goal is to help businesses by alleviating some of the nitty gritty administrative tasks. I especially love being able to help small businesses realise how much time they are wasting on small tasks that can be done automatically with software, so they can get back to focusing on what is really important for their business – their zone of genius. I believe in the power of teamwork, and fostering a collaborative environment is essential for success.

I have extensive knowledge in most admin tasks including experience with both MYOB and XERO and thoroughly enjoy researching and finding the solutions to problems businesses face everyday. Having such a broad background, means I can effectively handle a variety of tasks. I am adaptable and enjoy taking on new tasks and challenges and getting my problem solving skills into action.

Skills

My passion lies in crafting attention-grabbing content that resonates with audiences across social media platforms like Facebook, Instagram and LinkedIn. I don’t just create; I dive deep into the data, analysing every juicy detail to ensure your business is on an upward trajectory, maximizing exposure to your potential clients.

Whether it’s been part of a creative team on projects that lasted 3 months or 3 years, I’ve always brought my design-oriented, creative thinking, and problem-solving skills to the table. As an early adopter of Artificial Intelligence and Generative AI technology, I’m always eager to explore and test new innovations. I love seeing how these cutting-edge tools can be integrated into everyday design and management tasks, making the process not just efficient but also exciting!
