EnglishPlus Aoraki is a partnership between Jane McKenzie and Keith Tyler-Smith, set up expressly to offer English language and activities tours in and around South Canterbury for international visitors.

We offer a carefully planned combination of language practice in the mornings, in our home, followed by related outings and activities in the afternoons.

We have designed this home-based business with the theme ‘welcome to our home’ to the fore – therefore the emphasis is on local, friendly, enjoying the life of the village, visiting our favourite places, making new friends, participating in real activities, and being given a unique insight into heartland New Zealand.

We have travelled widely and after many years in Christchurch, now work from our new home in the village of Woodbury, where Jane was born and raised. Keith was brought up in the UK, Zambia and Canada, but has called New Zealand home for the past 30 years.
