About

Hi my name is Joan. I recently graduated from the University of Otago with a Bachelor of Biomedical Science with Honors (BBiomedSciHons) with First Class Honors, majoring in Functional Human Biology. Currently, I am pursuing a PhD. I studied IGCSE and the IB Diploma in middle and high school, so I am very familiar with the curriculums, offering tuition to IB, IGCSE, ATAR and NCEA students in Biology and Chemistry over the last 4-5 years.

Amazing!!!

Joan was my tutor for a solid year and a half. I studied IB Bio (HL) and Chem (SL). Joan made the large and difficult syllabus, clear and easy to understand. I also really enjoyed my tutor lessons and I would highly recommend her to anyone taking IB or NCEA.
