Qualifications & Experience - Currently studying towards the National Certificate of Adult Literacy Education.

Personal Statement - I am very pleased to have the opportunity to work at the Solomon Group as a Teacher Aide. Before starting here I worked in the retail and hospitality industries for four years and at the end of 2009 I began to realise I needed a change. Since becoming a Teacher Aide in the Preliterate class I have gained the confidence to support our students in their learning. I am enjoying the experience and knowledge I am gaining everyday and love seeing the students make progress in their understanding of the English language.

Jackie - Tutor

With Solomon Group since October 2006

Quals & Exp - CELTA and National Certificate in Adult Literacy Education. Previously worked for Auckland English Academy and then for Language Overseas. Also South Auckland Home Tutor Scheme as well as teaching private students. 

Personal Statement - I really enjoy working for Solomon Group because of their unique approach where the Tutors are encouraged to develop an ESOL course which meets the individual student's needs.  In this way I am able to cater for all the various levels within my class and let them work at their own pace.  A warm, caring environment within the classroom helps the students build up their confidence.  I find this particularly important at the Pre Lit level where some students have no knowledge of English. I feel lucky to be able to share in all the different cultures and find that we are constantly learning from each other.
