Physics Teacher
Jordan Zhang
Hello everyone, I am Jordan. I mainly teach mathematics and physics courses. I have more than ten years of teaching experience in international courses. I have also taught content in different international course systems such as A-level, AP, IG, and DSE. Therefore, during the teaching process, I will combine the characteristics of the students and choose the simplest and easiest method to teach and let students understand mathematics and physics knowledge faster and easier. I am also keen on basketball and believe that a strong body can bring strong motivation to study. I hope that more students who like mathematics and physics can join my class and let us discover and explore the rules and mysteries of nature together.

Soon after the program, I graduated with a bachelor’s degree in TESOL (Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages). Upon returning to my home country, China, I worked in the IB PYP program for two years. Then, seeking personal improvement, I continued my journey as a lifelong learner and obtained a Master’s degree in Teaching.

Economics, Tourism and Hospitality Teacher
Casey Han
Hello everyone, I’m Casey Han, and I’m thrilled to be joining the UISZ team. I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Management and a Master’s degree in Economics. Since graduating, I have been dedicated to international curriculum education, specializing in bilingual learning methods, examination focuses, and test-taking skills. During my tenure as an A-level/AP Economics teacher at an international department in Guangzhou, my teaching style, which is relaxed and humorous, has been well-received by students. I excel at using real-life examples to interact with students and explain economic principles in an accessible manner, leading to significant teaching achievements. I deeply understand the learning content and psychological structure of different age groups, which allows me to simplify complex knowledge, summarize patterns, and guide students in organizing knowledge points and solving problems independently. I am passionate about fostering a love for economics in students and firmly believe that education is not just the transmission of knowledge but also the process of inspiring students’ potential and cultivating their ability to think independently and solve problems. My teaching philosophy is student-centered, utilizing personalized teaching methods to ensure every student can grow in my classroom. I closely integrate theory with practice, allowing students to better understand and apply economic principles through everyday examples. In class, I encourage students to question, analyze, and evaluate economic phenomena, nurturing their independent thinking and critical analysis skills. Finally, I view education as a continuous journey of learning. I will encourage students to maintain their curiosity, embrace lifelong learning, and continuously strive for excellence in both personal and academic pursuits. I look forward to growing together with the UISZ community and creating a bright future.
Chinese Teacher
Baobao Jiang
Hello, I’m Baobao. As a Chinese teacher in an international school, I firmly believe that language education is not just about teaching vocabulary and grammar, but also about helping students build confidence and cultivating their cross-cultural awareness, critical thinking, communication skills, and problem-solving abilities. I believe that language education should be a comprehensive developmental process, where students not only learn the language but also enhance their overall competence. I graduated with a major in Chinese International Education and have seven years of teaching experience, including two years working in an international school. This rich teaching experience has given me a deep understanding of the multicultural environment in international schools and the individualized learning needs of students. In my personal teaching approach, I focus on igniting students’ interest in learning by using lively and engaging classroom activities and practical examples to help students grasp language skills in a relaxed and enjoyable atmosphere. Additionally, I place great emphasis on developing students’ cross-cultural communication abilities, guiding them to understand and respect different cultural backgrounds, thereby broadening their international perspectives. I am passionate about the field of education and enjoy the journey of growth alongside my students. I look forward to contributing to the learning journey of students within the UISZ community and laying a solid language foundation for their future endeavors.
