About

Chiyo completed her entire K–12 education at Seoul Foreign School, one of Korea's premier IB international schools, before going on to Yonsei University for a Bachelor's in Biological Engineering and a Master's (currently pursuing PhD) in Nanomedical Engineering. Having gone through the IB curriculum herself, she knows first-hand what students struggle with, how IB examiners think, and which key points must appear in a top-mark answer.
