Jessica is an Administration, Management, Computing & Health tutor who works with The Career Academy to help students achieve their goals and career aspirations. Jessica has an Advanced Certificate in Business Administration, along with many years of working within the administration and management field. This qualification coupled with years of industry experience has allowed Jessica to provide the best education experience for her students.

With an unyielding passion and commitment for delivering exceptional education and support, her students are guaranteed to walk away from their qualifications feeling confident and prepared.

I made a decision to diversify my skillset and jumped on the Career Academy medical reception course. From the very beginning I knew I had the support network I needed to succeed in this course. The tutors are available for any questions and give helpful feedback. I have especially appreciated the help of Jessica Duiker who has encouraged me to continue to do the best I can with each assessment. Studying at home during COVID19 has been a great use of my downtime. I’ll come out of this with a fresh new qualification and ready to get back into the workforce.

After graduating from The University of Auckland, Bhavik came to us as one of our resident Accounting tutors where he amazes both his students and colleagues with his huge range of knowledge. Bhavik has been with us for many years and we’re still trying to find a topic that he’s not an expert in. So far we know he’s a pro at web development, IT, simulation racing, and guitar, so who knows what other talents he’s hiding from us. While tutoring, Bhavik loves that every student is unique which means he can tailor his tutoring style to each one. He says it’s especially rewarding when he sees a less confident student develop over the course of their learning.

Very good tutor support, thank you Bhavik Daya!
My first assignment was assessed very promptly and with very well explained errors and where I needed to reinforce my knowledge.
I got some good energy for further study.

Blessing is obsessed with two things – tutoring accounting and watching movies. Sadly, the number of movies starring accountants is limited, so she can’t combine her two loves, but in the meantime she’s almost as happy giving her students as much encouragement and motivation as she can.

The study flexibility offered by The Career Academy also means that she is always available to help, which she thinks is invaluable when it comes to helping students navigate both studying and living their busy lives. She believes that education is the key to success, and applies this to each and every one of her students.

When there’s time between movies, Blessing loves exploring New Zealand on road trips with her friends.

I am enjoying my course. Blessing helps me when I need help. Overall I would recommend others to study with The Career Academy and would do future studies.

Tracey is a people person with impressive juggling skills. Like many of The Career Academy’s students, she’s a working mum balancing her job and her family.

In her previous role as an office manager at one of Lion Nathan’s Auckland establishments for seven years, she was responsible for all manner of financial duties (incl. payroll, and accounts payable & receivable.) She later backed up these skills with a Bachelor of Business from Massey.

Although she’s a proficient “number cruncher” it’s working with her students which Tracey enjoys the most. Seeing when a student really “gets it,” when their confidence soars or when they’re able to secure that new role – these are things that she loves.

Thank you Tracey Annan for your objective grade on my Myob payroll assignment. I can learn from my mistakes. I think it’s good to do something wrong so we can study more closely and learn more.

I have graduated in Bachelor of Commerce Degree with a major in Accounting from La Trobe University and have been working in Finance department for different industries like Hospitality, Retail Sports, Pharmaceutical and Accounting/Tax Services for more than 10 years now.

I believe being a student it can be very challenging to grasp knowledge of any topic without experience or limited training or education. Therefore, it is paramount to support students during their journey in completing their courses and most importantly having them really understand the course itself. I am always willing to help students to the best of my ability and open to feedback from students to further develop my skills.

I have also been very active in Cricket and have been playing with La Trobe University Cricket Club for the last 15 years where I have won awards for best performances in different grades. I love travelling and have visited countries like United Arab Emirates, Pakistan, Singapore, Thailand, Malaysia, and USA which has given me an opportunity to interact and learn about people with different culture and background.
