graduate PROFILE Qiao Hao
Certificate in English Improving her English through studies at Waiariki Institute of Technology has opened up a world of possibilities for Qiao Hao. Originally from China, she moved to New Zealand four years ago after marrying a New Zealander and decided she needed to improve her English before choosing a career path. Qiao Hao has a master’s degree in science from China and is considering a couple of options – secondary school teaching or working in a medical laboratory. The mother of two is leaning toward the latter and after a year studying English at Waiariki, has embarked on a Graduate Diploma in Science paper at the Auckland University of Technology where she attends once a week. Her English classes at Waiariki gave her the confidence to take her science studies further. “Some of the studies I am doing now are quite challenging but I am finding I can cope with it – I don’t think that would have been possible if I had not improved my English through Waiariki first,” she says. Qiao Hao found the environment at the Rotorua campus to be very supportive with small classes providing plenty of opportunities for valuable one-on-one time with tutors. Coming from Tianjan, China, a city of more than 10 million where she taught primary school classes with 200 students, she found herself in a class of only about 15 English students at Waiariki. “Moving to Rotorua was a very big change for me … but it has been a good change for me,” she says. “I’m very happy here – the future looks good.” Whatever path she ends up choosing after finishing her current studies, Qiao Hao says improving her English has been the first important step to helping her achieve her goals in her new home.
