Does this statement make sense?

"Empathises genuine concern for those that want to learn."

It is in reference to an instructor who cares about his students academic success.

If it's not grammatically correct, could you please critique...

I don't think "concern for those..." can act as an object of the verb "empathize."
You could say, "He empathizes with and has genuine concern for those who want to learn."
Perhaps the word you want is "emphasize."
"He emphasizes genuine concern for those who want to learn ... when he lectures/when he speaks with other educators/etc."

You need an apostrophe, Empathy's genuine concern is for those that want to learn...But the statement doesn't really make much sense...Unless your name is empathy...Empathy is an emotion...Emotions cannot have emotions..An in, it cannot be concerned

Yes it a very sophisticated quote and if you tweak it a bit it might become a more punctual quote! Is that critical?
