Emily Tuffin

GLO Founder and Director

Creating a comprehensive online learning resource for New Zealand students was Emily's mission well before she incorporated Go Learn On Line Limited in August 2000.

Her experience as a tutor fostered the realisation that in order to reach today's student, a commitment must be made to create exciting and stimulating educational resources.

With GLO, she has brought together a talented team of teachers, course writers and technology consultants to create an Internet study tool that students can use anytime, anywhere. Emily is grateful for the input she has received from her students to help GLO help other students reach their Peak Performance.

Emily holds a Bachelor of Commerce and Administration from Victoria University of Wellington.

When she is not GLOing, Emily enjoys spending time in the outdoors while tramping, swimming, running or cycling.
