Biography:

Justin was born in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia but moved to Auckland, New Zealand at a young age, growing up there and graduating from Macleans College in 2018.

After graduating, he moved to Sydney and is studying Medicine at the University of New South Wales.

Testimonials:

I was very lucky to have had the opportunity to work with Justin. He is very knowledgeable and an outstanding teacher. There wasn’t a single part of the HSC Biology course that he couldn’t explain beautifully. I really enjoyed how all of his teaching came from a deep, first-principles understanding of how things work, in contrast to much of the rote learning and memorising encouraged elsewhere. I found Justin very relatable and personable as a tutor. I was felt very comfortable in our lessons to ask questions, but what really impressed me was Justin’s ability to anticipate what I didn’t understand so naturally and effortlessly. This made tutoring work wonderfully. I would often send Justin questions that I had outside of hours, and he would always email me back almost instantly, including at very late times in the night. The professionalism that I experienced was out of this world. Justin really goes above and beyond.

I found the Premier Tutors Biology resources to be outstanding. They not only explained the content thoroughly, but they were extremely well designed to do so in a way that was easy to understand and very well laid out. They saved me many, many hours and allowed me to focus purely on learning the content, unlike my contemporaries at school, who wasted a lot of time making and finding notes.

Thank you, Justin for the two wonderful years of working with me. I am extremely grateful for your hard work and efforts!
