Julie

Julie is the co-founder and director of Thinking Caps. Her main role is the onboarding of new tutors and new students. Julie is fiercely passionate about finding the right ‘study buddy’ tutor for your child. This means getting to know a bit about them and their interests… not just their learning needs. She uses this information to match your child with just the right study buddy – one who will really ‘get them’ and be a wonderful guide and mentor, as well as providing them with excellent learning.

As an educator, Julie first started her career teaching in the early childhood sector, and then went on to teach in primary and intermediate schools. In 2001, Julie was seconded by the Ministry of Education to be a Numeracy Facilitator, where she introduced the Numeracy Project to schools across Auckland. She has since presented at national conferences and day courses across New Zealand.
