Lauren - Director

I founded The Education Effect to connect with students, increase motivation, build confidence, and ultimately encourage them to grasp the positive effects of learning.

One on one tutoring provides the opportunity to share knowledge and skills, in order to develop and support students to reach their full potential. By adapting our tutoring methods to fit the student’s requirements, we can help them to form a strong understanding of the subject fundamentals.

I completed my tertiary study in 2019 with a Bachelor of Applied Management, majoring in Accounting. I know the NCEA system well, having graduated high school with an overall Excellence endorsement.

We love working with our students to build a personalised plan working towards achieving their goals for high school and beyond.

A full list of the subjects we tutor can be found here, although please feel free to contact us even if your subject is not specified.

 
 
 

Olivia - tutor

I am currently in my fourth and final year at the University of Otago, studying accounting and marketing. I finished high school in 2020, with a strong interest in business studies. I enjoy being social and meeting lots of people in my spare time, and also enjoy getting outdoors for a nice walk along the harbour!

Emily - tutor

I am currently a third-year student at the University of Waikato, studying English and Biology. I attended Hillcrest High School and finished Year 13 in 2020; studying Music, English, Chemistry, Biology, and Calculus. Music is a big part of my life, and my time, when not studying, is often spent in one band rehearsal or another, playing either trombone or flute.

 
 

Amelie - tutor

I am in my third year of study towards a Bachelor of Health Science at the University of Otago with a focus on Māori Health. I finished high school in Auckland in 2020 with a passion for Science and History. Underwater Hockey has a special place in my heart and when not studying you will find me at the pool!

 

Testimonials

I am so grateful for finding this tutor. My son has started liking school and is way more confident because of their kindness, patience and expertise. Thank you so much for helping to move him ahead.
— Amanda, Parent of Level 1 Science & English student
Fantastic tutoring provided! I have had tutoring for my two NCEA children in the last two terms. The difference in their understanding, confidence and approach to their exams has been amazing. The tutors have been focused on the areas they needed and been really knowledgable and supportive. Both kids have now gone on to get high marks in their mocks and confidently gone into NCEA.
Thank you Education Effect!
— Raewyn, Parent of Level 1 & Level 3 students
My child’s tutor has been the perfect fit! She is extremely knowledgeable, patient and most of all, explains everything in a way my child understands. The fees are very fair (less than some others) and both Lauren and the tutor are incredibly responsive.
If your child is struggling, needs some fine tuning or needs some extension work, you’ll be glad you chose the education effect.
