Tutoring and educational assessments - now available for 2023
Having left classroom teaching (after 20 years...oh my goodness), I am now operating full-time as 'Square Pegs Learning and Assessment Ltd' at my new private practice rooms in Avondale.
I will be:
* specialist tutoring 1-1 in person and online (over 20 years' experience - Years 3 to 13...all subject areas, and remedial Maths and reading and writing)
* offering block workshops on targeted areas like Executive Functioning Skills (planning, organisation and working memory etc,) and junior and senior NCEA curriculum subjects (English, Maths, Science and Social Studies etc)
* doing educational psychological assessments for dyslexia and other specific learning differences
* and parent/whānau upskilling webinars and blogs.
I am now opening my books for limited spaces in the above services.
References are available, and all introductory conversations are welcomed.
Please either message me here, or email me at tanyasquarepegs@gmail.com. Alternatively, you can text me on 022 308 6275.
Waiting lists in Auckland for tutoring and assessments can be up to a year long! This is the perfect time of year to set up the expert and individualised support for your child, addressing their needs, strengths and interests.
Warm regards everyone :)

Poll: Should the government levy industries that contribute to financial hardship?
As reported in the Post, there’s a $30 million funding gap in financial mentoring. This has led to services closing and mentors stepping in unpaid just to keep helping people in need 🪙💰🪙
One proposed solution? Small levies on industries that profit from financial hardship — like banks, casinos, and similar companies.
So we want to hear what you think:
Should the government ask these industries to contribute?
-
59.5% Yes, supporting people is important!
-
26.2% No, individuals should take responsibility
-
14.4% ... It is complicated
Poll: Should complete designs be shared with the public, or should the community help shape the designs from the start?
The Post recently shared an opinion piece on the Harbour Crossing and why a more democratic approach might be needed 🚗🚲👟
While most decisions sit within the political arena, many organisations—like NZTA—manage long-term projects that go beyond party lines. Politics can sometimes disrupt progress, and the next Harbour Crossing is a big decision that will affect all Aucklanders.
We’d love your thoughts: Should near-complete, shovel-ready designs be shared with the public, or should the community have a hand in shaping the designs from the start?
-
80.6% Community feedback and transparency is needed.
-
19.4% No. This would be impossible in practice.
