With over three decades of experience teaching mathematics across diverse educational settings—from public schools in Washington State to international classrooms in Hong Kong, Thailand, and Finland—I bring a global perspective and a student-centered approach to every lesson. Currently based in Tai Po District, Hong Kong SAR, I specialize in teaching all levels of IB DP Mathematics AA and AI, with a consistent focus on fostering independent learning and critical thinking. My teaching style is rooted in inquiry-based learning and Socratic dialogue, encouraging students to actively engage with mathematical concepts rather than passively absorb them. I believe that mathematics is not just about numbers—it's a language of logic, creativity, and problem-solving. By integrating real-world applications and collaborative learning, I help students build confidence and develop a lifelong appreciation for the subject. Read less
