Career Planning? Changing Jobs? Seeking Employment?
I am a registered secondary teacher, living in Tawa, with over 50 years of teaching service in the secondary and tertiary sectors. I recently retired from Wellington College where I was the careers adviser for the past 15 years.
I am now available for students, and families to provide a range of services which include:
Setting career goals, exploring options and opportunities
Post-secondary study options and opportunities, including University, Polytechnics, private training providers, apprenticeships and trade training
CV writing
How to develop a range of skills, qualities and interests necessary to be successful later in life
How to network and respond to employer demands and expectations including research and interview skills
How to be successful in applying for scholarships
How to gain work experience, part time and full time jobs
Weighing up the benefits of Gap years
Developing leadership skills
How to respond to the areas of job and skill shortages in a rapidly changing world
subject choices and where they can lead
My rates are $55 per hour, much less than a plumber or lawyer!

Scam Alert: Bank cold calls
ASB is warning customers about reports of cold calls from scammers claiming to be from ASB. These scammers are trying to obtain personal information, including usernames, dates of birth, and verification codes sent to your mobile phone.
🛡️ The "Caller Check" Test
If you get a call from someone claiming to be from ASB and you’re unsure, just ask them for a Caller Check. You will then be able to verify the call through the app.
Remember, banks will:
❌ Never ask for your banking passwords, PINs, or verification codes
❌ Never need to know your full credit card number – especially the CVC
❌ Never ask you to download software or remotely access your device
❌ Never ask you to purchase gift cards or transfer funds.
If you have received a phone call and think your account has been compromised, call ASB on 0800 ASB FRAUD (0800 272 372), or visit your local branch.
