Johnny Kim
Hello My name is Johnny and I've been teaching at KEA since January 2014. I'm originally from South Korea but immigrated to NZ when I was in high school. I'm passionate about watching movies from different countries, learning new languages and also love trying international cuisine. As I am a second language learner myself, I understand how to enhance my students' learning.
Eliane Tavares
I am Eliane, and I have worked at KEA since September 2019. I’m originally from Brazil and I moved to NZ in 2008. I have been teaching since 1999, when I was still living in Brazil. Before I joined KEA I worked at a high school in Auckland for 10 years. Aside from New Zealand I have lived in the Middle East, Canada and Japan. That’s why I enjoy my job so much – I have the opportunity to meet and help great people from different parts of the world.
Roselyn Naidu
Hi, I am Roselyn, and I teach Mathematics and Science at KEA. I am initially from Fiji and I have worked in Fiji and universally in the field of Environmental and Marine Science. I have worked with University of the South Pacific and the University of Fiji as an Assistant Lecturer in Chemistry. I am at present pursuing my PhD at the University of Auckland and attempting to build enthusiasm for science among students at KEA.
Chelsea Bews
I was born in Auckland and have lived here all my life. In 2013 I finished studying for a Postgraduate Diploma in Language Teaching and since then I have taught people of various ages and abilities and with different goals. My favourite things about teaching English as a second language are getting to know people from different cultures, learning from my students and seeing them progress and achieve their goals.

Hi everyone. My name is Natalie. I understand how challenging and difficult for international students to quickly settle down their new lives in a foreign country. With my previous working experience among diversified education providers, I would like to offer my professional assistance on international students’ academic enquiries, pastoral care services, etc. See you at Kiwi English Academy.
