About Emma

Emma is an experienced senior science teacher, lifelong learner, and founder of Preparing Minds. Over 12 years in education, she observed a growing number of students struggling with stress, time management, and a lack of direction in their studies. Holding four degrees—including postgraduate qualifications in education and psychology—Emma combines deep academic knowledge with real-life perspective, having completed two of those degrees after becoming a mother.  Through Preparing Minds, she delivers in-person and online workshops that help adolescents develop their values, set meaningful goals, build self-awareness, and strengthen communication skills. Her mission is to equip young people with the mindset, tools, and structure they need to thrive—both in and beyond the classroom.
