Fettes College Guangzhou will welcome a senior mathematics teacher Tim Hu, who has nine years of international education teaching experience, has successfully trained many students to enter world-famous universities such as Cambridge University, and led the students to obtain the world's highest score in IGCSE mathematics (Cambridge Outstanding Student Award).

With his unique teaching style, Tim Hu guides students to explore the charm of mathematics, making seemingly boring numbers come alive and interesting. Under his influence, even students who choose to further their studies in the humanities take mathemactics classes as a hobby. Thanks to Tim Hu's guidance, many more students have successfully studied at world-class universities, taking mathematics as a stepping stone.

Mathematics as the paddle, to be the ferryman of students

Two months ago, a student who was going to the United States to attend a summer camp approached Tim Hu to ask about the Ancient Babylon collection at Yale University. Two years ago, Tim Hu introduced YBC7289, an ancient Babylonian clay tablet with a history of more than 4,000 years, to his class. That year, Tim Hu printed a picture of the tablet on a maths workbook and wrote an article about the tablet and its mathemactics content in the foreword of the workbook. Tim Hu explained the cuneiform characters to his students in the class to confirm the mathematical theory. He told them that the clay tablet was kept at Yale University, and he would be very happy if a student could take a picture of him in the future. Unexpectedly, two years later, the student still remembered Tim Hu's words and approached him to confirm the details before leaving.

In Tim Hu's mind, mathemactics is more than just mathemactics. He would ask the right questions during the teaching process to help students "revert to mathemactics problems" to improve their minds in problem-solving exercises, deepen their understanding of things and become good problem solvers, not just solve "paper exercises". These include questions such as "What challenges have mathematicians faced throughout history?" and "What problems have been solved and what new problems have been created by the methods and concepts that mathematicians have developed?" When analysing mathematical formulas, Tim Hu will let the students understand the context of the knowledge so that they can understand the why and why.

Although Tim Hu teaches mathemactics subjects, he is an omnipotent "ferryman" in the minds of his students. Some students would talk to him about their problems and seek his help. Some students share their interesting books with him. Some graduates would ask him for advice when choosing a major. Some graduates in the field of mathematics further study at the university and encounter difficult problems are also the first time to talk to him. The daily life of being relied upon and trusted made Tim Hu feel very warm and happy.

Only a student who is a student can be a student's teacher.

Tim Hu always treats his students with Humility. He believes that in today's age of information explosion, students can obtain knowledge through various channels. Once, Tim Hu was very surprised when a student used an innovative method to analyse a problem in class. After detailed questioning, Tim Hu learned that the student had learned from a knowledge-based website, which inspired his teaching idea. So Tim Hu also became a master of the knowledge-based website, sharing mathematical theory knowledge and problem-solving ideas, and gained a group of small but loyal fans, covering students from middle school to college. He very much agrees with Ye Sheng Tao's view, "Only students who are students can be students' teachers".

Plant the seeds of dreams for students and water them with love.

As a teenager, Tim Hu became keenly interested in various mathemactics books, such as Mathematics for Middle School Students and New Concept Geometry. These books opened his eyes to a wider range of mathematics than problem-solving and exams, and he has had an indissoluble bond with mathematics ever since. At school, Tim Hu had a wide range of mathematical knowledge; In his teaching career, Tim Hu spread mathematics knowledge through various forms.

His love of mathematics has influenced many students and sparked a strong interest in mathematics. This feeling was so wonderful that it reminded him of a book he had once read: The Feynman's Lectures on Physics by Richard Feynman, a famous American physicist. When introducing the Principle of Least Action, Feynman's high school physics teacher once called him to his side and said, "You look a little bored. Let me introduce you to a very interesting thing." The "interesting thing" is the magical law of nature revealed by the Principle of least Action. It was a rule that amused Feynman, and he kept returning to it for the rest of his life, eventually leading him to a class at Caltech. "Being a teacher like that was what kept me going." Tim Hu said.

Through his past educational experience and teaching experience, Tim Hu is convinced of the vision of Fettes College Guangzhou to produce confident and holistically educated young people. As a teacher, he has sent many children to world-renowned universities. He believes that schools and parents have the same educational expectations for their children, that they can grow up happy and be useful to others and contribute to society. Tim Hu looks forward to meeting the students and hopes to ride with them on the wisdom boat of Fettes College Guangzhou and take mathematics as the paddle to reach the other side of the ideal education.
