When Students Remember

Hello, I'm back :),

In my previous post, I shared how teaching MAT223 has been incredibly rewarding, particularly in demonstrating the practical applications of mathematics in students' everyday lives. Coincidentally, today I received an email from a former student I taught during the pandemic in 2020.


I taught Jason in MAT223 nearly five years ago, during which we had numerous engaging discussions via Webex. I'm proud to recall how I was able to address most of his questions and cultivate his curiosity. Today, he reached out to me, requesting that I serve as a referee for his postgraduate application. It's truly delighting to receive such a humble request.😇

Given his application to the University of Oxford, I am eager to support his aspirations. While I have always admired Oxford, the opportunity to contribute to a student's application to such a prestigious institution is truly rewarding.

A place I have always dreamed of visiting. 😊


You know what's the best part of my job? 
Hearing how my teaching has impacted my students. 
It's truly gratifying.
