Emma
Auckland TutorEmma is a fourth-year student studying Health Sciences and Commerce (majoring in Economics, Finance and Population Health) at the University of Auckland. Emma enjoys this subject combination as it challenges her to look at the bigger picture and explore problems in context. Emma is passionate about utilising scientific concepts to rectify global issues and hopes that her career will encapsulate this mode of creative and interdisciplinary thinking. She hopes to pursue a career centred around health economics.
Emma strongly believes in a holistic approach to education, where she recognises the importance and influence of multiple factors that contribute towards a student’s learning journey. The ability to create positive change and make a tangible difference in the education of others is a key aspect that draws Emma to tutoring. Emma is committed to helping her students achieve their goals, so she makes an effort to listen to her students and amplify their voice in the learning process. As well as working through content in her lessons, Emma gives advice about studying approaches and time-management tips that she has gleaned through experience.
Outside of her studies, Emma enjoys playing tennis, running and cooking. She recognises the importance of pursuing a balanced lifestyle and encourages self-reflection and resilience within her approach to tutoring. Emma undertook the IB Diploma in her final two years of school and completed NCEA Level 1 in Year 11, so she understands both pathways. Having completed high school in 2019, both IB and NCEA are fresh to her mind. Emma is confident tutoring Accounting, Business Studies, Chemistry, English, Economics, French, Maths and Science.
