About

Hi there, I am currently a Ph.D candidate at the University of Otago whose main area of research is looking at proteins of the heart and their role in heart failure. I have experience in teaching NCEA levels 1 -3 in biology, and I can teach up to graduate level in Anatomy or Physiology. I enjoy writing reports, and essays and am happy to provide any proofreading of any writing material. I have first-hand experience in NCEA, but can be adaptable to other forms of examinations such as international baccalaureate (IB) and IGCSE (GSCE). My tutoring style is focused more on concepts rather than fact memorization, which has been proven to be more useful in exam settings.
