About Dr Joan
Need help with biology or biomedical subjects? I make complex concepts easy to understand so you can improve your grades and confidence.
I am a Veterinary Medicine graduate and researcher with experience at the University of Melbourne and international research institutions. My background includes molecular biology, physiology, pathology, and data analysis using Python and R.
I have worked on advanced research projects involving animal models, RNA sequencing, and scientific data analysis, and I have contributed to multiple published studies.
Alongside my research, I enjoy teaching and helping students understand complex concepts in a clear and structured way. I focus on breaking down difficult topics into simple steps so students can build confidence and improve their performance.
I work with university and school students across veterinary science, biology, and Python, adapting my teaching style to each student’s needs and goals.
My aim is to help you not only understand the subject, but also become confident solving problems independently.
**Academic Integrity Statement**
I am committed to upholding the highest standards of academic integrity in all tutoring sessions. My role is to support students in developing their understanding of subject matter, strengthening their analytical skills, and improving the structure and clarity of their assignments.
I do not complete assignments, assessments, or graded work on behalf of students. Instead, I provide guidance on how to interpret questions, plan responses, organize ideas, and apply relevant concepts effectively. All work submitted by students must be their own original effort.
This approach ensures that students not only achieve better academic outcomes but also remain fully compliant with their institution’s academic integrity policies.

Hi! I help students in biology and biomedical science understand difficult concepts and improve their grades with clear, step-by-step teaching.
With a strong background in molecular biology, physiology, and laboratory research, I can explain complex topics in a way that actually makes sense.
I work with both high school and university students who need help with:
Understanding core concepts (microbiology, cell biology, molecular biology & genetics)
Preparing for exams and assessments
Completing assignments and lab reports
Building confidence in problem-solving
My approach is simple: identify where you’re struggling, explain it clearly, and practice until you’re confident.
If you feel stuck or overwhelmed, I can help you catch up quickly and improve your performance.
Send me a message with your topic or course, and I’ll guide you step by step.
