Mini bio
An early teacher.
Born in South Korea, Justin moved to New Zealand at two. In an Authority Magazine interview, Justin recalled a childhood full of fiction books and a family of teachers. Tutoring younger children in English began at ten, followed by freelance graphic design at twelve.
From medicine to education.
While studying medicine at the University of Auckland, Justin founded Foster our Future, a mentoring venture for high school students, and JTT, which supported aspiring healthcare professionals. After graduating and working as a doctor, Justin found that education and entrepreneurship better matched their interests.
Helping people learn how to learn.
As iCanStudy’s co-founder and Head of Learning, Justin works on turning learning research into practical training. Their YouTube channel brings that approach to students and working professionals through lessons on memory, reading, mind mapping, and self-management.
A place to start watching.
The 2022 TEDxUOA talk explains the difference between studying and learning. The 2024 reading video introduces the PACER system and has reached more than ten million views. Both offer an introduction to the questions that keep coming up in Justin’s work: what helps knowledge stick, and how can you use it?
