Affinity Plus College was founded in June 2022 by Jane, bringing nearly two decades of experience as an educator, facilitator, and quality advisor within New Zealand’s tertiary education sector. Through her extensive work alongside tutors, assessors, and quality assurance teams, she identified a critical gap: the need for a dedicated space offering accessible, practice-focused support — beyond theoretical models and policy frameworks.
