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 :)

Harbour Bridge lane closure - protests
The Treaty Principles Bill was introduced to parliament last week and could have ramifications on the partnership between the Crown and Māori.
Hīkoi mō te Tiriti (March for the Treaty of Waitangi) set off from Cape Rēinga on Monday morning and is expected to reach Wellington next Tuesday. It has now passed through Kaitaia, Kawakawa, Whangārei, Dargaville and is passing through Auckland on Wednesday.
What you need to know today:
- The hīkoi is due to cross the Auckland Harbour Bridge about 9.30am on Wednesday. Two northbound lanes will be closed at some point before the crossing, and remain closed during it.
- NZTA shared at 8:50am Wednesday:
'Curran St northbound on-ramp will be closed shortly, with two northbound lanes on the Harbour Bridge expected to close from approx 9.30am this morning. Allow extra time for likely delays through this area.'
- The hīkoi is expected to go across the Harbour Bridge, in a controlled fashion before marching through parts of the CBD towards Okahu Bay.
- Auckland commuters should expect traffic disruption in vicinity of both sides of the Harbour Bridge.
Stuff reporter Steve Kilgallon was at Stafford Park on the north side of the Harbour Bridge at 8.30am Wednesday and shared:
"I just walked through Stafford Park, where there’s about 400-500 people quietly assembled and more arriving; and about 20 police standing over near the motorway off ramp. Lot of Tino Rangatira flags in evidence, local streets very busy with parked cars."
Police have shared that they will respond accordingly to any issues that may arise along the route.
Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
Do you think NZ should follow suit? Vote in our poll and share your thoughts below.
