Be sure to say 'Kia ora' when you see her out and about. (Mathematics) **Teresa Joy** - With over two decades of experience, my teaching journey has been a global adventure, spanning from the vibrant classrooms of India and Dubai to the academic heart of the UK. Now, I’ve landed in New Zealand, eager for an even more enriching chapter in my career. My teaching style is fueled by a lifelong passion for helping students and a high-energy 'can-do' spirit. As a former school athlete, I bring a sportsperson’s grit and enthusiasm to the classroom, blending creativity with a love for volunteering for 'crazy' challenges. I believe in showing young minds how to embrace life with joy and curiosity, ensuring that every lesson is as spirited as it is educational.
