About Us

Hi, my name is Kendall and I am a senior English tutor here at Action Tutoring. I have a real passion for English, especially at the High School and NCEA levels. I come from a Journalism and Broadcasting background and am someone who loves to learn myself. The most rewarding part about being a tutor is seeing the students I work with gain confidence from one-to-one support. 

I am a country girl at heart and have a huge love for animals. I spend my weekends away show jumping at a competitive level.

 ditch. Being out in the garden, walking in nature, or with my nose in a book are my happy places. I believe that every young person deserves to thrive and am happy to contribute to their wellbeing.  

Hi, I'm Dani.

I love being active and outdoors, so going for a bush walk always excites me. Martial arts has been a passion of mine since I was little, I also coach some of the younger classes at my martial arts club.
