Kaiako Mathematics and Statistics
Te Aho o Te Kura Pounamu · Waikato, Bay of Plenty
About the role
Nau mai, haere mai ki Te Kura
At Te Aho o Te Kura Pounamu (Te Kura), our ākonga are always at the centre of what we do. For more than a century, we've supported learners across Aotearoa — evolving from lessons once delivered on horseback to today's future focused learning that can be done anywhere, anytime.
Ākonga at Te Kura choose subjects based on their passions and interests, accessing learning online supported by kaiako who guide, inspire, and drive engagement. Alongside this, kaiako provide pastoral care and connect with ākonga through regular huinga ako — online or face-to-face — where learners connect, receive guidance, and strengthen their sense of belonging.
We're looking for a dedicated secondary kaiako with expertise in teaching across Mathematics and Statistics to join our Te Kāhui Hauāuru region. This role can be based in our Hamilton, Tauranga or Rotorua tari | office.
You will:
- support ākonga to engage deeply in learning that is aligned with their goals, passions and interests.
- facilitate regular huinga ako (online and face-to-face) to provide pastoral care, connection, and personalised learning
- provide constructive feedback and feedforward on ākonga learning
- collaborate with colleagues and whānau to create flexible, engaging learning experiences
- have a genuine interest in learning and embracing te reo Māori, with a commitment to growing your skills.
Ko koe tēnei | About you
You will bring:
- a New Zealand teacher registration and a current practising certificate
- strong knowledge of the Mathematics and Statistics curriculum and assessment practices
- a calm, inclusive, and supportive approach to teaching and pastoral care
- confidence using digital tools to connect with learners
- enthusiasm for collaborative, values driven teaching
- a genuine interest in learning and embracing te reo Māori, with a commitment to growing your skills.
