ARC
Years of Experience.
Results in Excellence.
Emma Hames is a British educator, scientist, artist, and musician whose life and work span academia, sport, and the arts. A scientist, teacher and former Fulham FC reserves player, BBC Introducing-featured songwriter, Cannes Film Festival-accredited producer, and exhibited artist, Emma brings a rare blend of academic rigour, creative insight, and lived resilience.
After completing her postgraduate degree in education while living with just 60% lung capacity, Emma went on to recover from a decade-long neurological injury without any specialist support, that reshaped her understanding of human potential. Her journey taught her what no classroom could - how to adapt, self-lead, and rise stronger from challenge.
Today, she mentors young people to do the same - helping them build confidence, resilience, emotional intelligence, and purpose in a world that demands all.
Emma has worked in schools, universities and private enterprises across France and the UK.
ARC’s approach blends science-backed tools with real-world experience. Our flagship mentorship programme equips children with the mindset and practical strategies to overcome setbacks, make empowered choices, and create a fulfilling vision for their future. ARC was launched in October '25 with a growing network of elite educators joining the team.
“I’ve spent my life at the intersection of education, science, art, sport, and resilience. Success isn’t defined by grades alone - it’s built through self-leadership, adaptability, and a clear sense of purpose. A by-product of that is outstanding grades and success.”
