Emma

Hi! My name is Emma Ashley and I have been a tutor at KIS for 4 years.

I graduated high school in 2020 with an ATAR of 99.45 and continued my studies at the Australian National University, pursuing a double degree in Law (Honours) and Politics, Philosophy, and Economics (PPE). I recently completed my PPE degree in November 2024 with a High Distinction Average, and I am on track to graduate from my Law (Hons) degree in November 2025 with First Class Honours.

My tutoring journey began immediately after completing the HSC in 2020. Since then, I have conducted over 1,670 hours of lessons, working with 76 students. My motivation? A genuine love for sharing knowledge and the joy of seeing students experience those “aha” moments. There’s nothing more rewarding than watching students grow in confidence, master challenging concepts, or celebrate an outstanding grade.

As a tutor, I strive to create a safe and supportive environment that focuses on each student’s unique needs. I emphasise exam techniques and target areas for improvement that often don’t receive enough attention in the classroom. My goal is for students to take ownership of their learning, and I tailor each lesson to reflect their current priorities, because no one knows their needs better than they do. I am also readily available outside of lesson times for quick questions or feedback.

Besides from tutoring for the past four years, I’ve been actively involved with KIS Academics, where I’ve had the privilege of contributing to the growth of our NSW team as a foundational member. Over time, my responsibilities have expanded from managing the NSW division to leading our Events and Sales team. Today, as a core executive, I oversee the legal and financial operations of KIS and am incredibly proud of the impact we’ve made and the values we uphold.

With my final graduation approaching, 2025 will be my last year of tutoring. While this is bittersweet, I’m excited to work with one last cohort of students in subjects including Mathematics, English, Economics, and Legal Studies.

Thank you for taking the time to learn a bit about me. I look forward to helping you achieve your academic goals.
