Teachers are like lights

At Yuhua, every teacher is a 'light chaser' in education—they use their expertise as a torch and their passion as a sail, working diligently on the path of teaching and educating, and pouring warmth into the moments of students' growth.

Excellent Teacher Series This feature will take you into the daily lives of these 'treasure teachers': listen to them tell their stories of education inside and outside the classroom, and see how they use their craftsmanship to ignite students' thirst for knowledge. The beauty of education lies in the details; the power of growth comes from every sincere companionship.

 

A problem solver among the top 600 in the Jiangsu Gaokao, leading students to achieve growth in their first robotics competition—he uses rational thinking to build a ladder and ignites the spark with engineering practice.

Measurers on both sides of the podium: from mistake books to model airplane parts


 


 

Teacher Zhuang Zhichao (Kento)'s figure shuttles between two spaces: In the A-Level mathematics classroom, he guides students to use their mistake books to pinpoint knowledge weaknesses; in the STEAM maker workshop, he and his students assemble model airplane parts into running physics projects.

“Learning is the stepping stone to university, but true technical skills are forged in the laboratory and on foreign streets.” He often shares his experience studying at Nanyang Technological University: the focus of repeatedly watching course recordings late into the night, and the spirit of exploring the Southeast Asian rainforest, are jointly cast into his teaching genes.

The change in thinking brought about by methodology


 


 

Last year's Shenzhen Robotics Competition was his first time leading a team. “Winning or losing isn't the goal; disassembling and modifying the opponent's creations is the real learning.” When students witnessed the ingenious modifications of other teams' robots, their eyes lit up—the second and third place prizes won by this new team proved his philosophy of “growing through practice.”

Students call his methodology the “double-book strategy”. It's common to hear students say: “Kento requires us to think independently for 20 minutes when encountering difficulties; now, facing calculus is like disassembling a mechanical device.”

Three true words: from mastering terminology to laboratory keys


 


 

Q: The key to learning mathematics?
“English terminology + mistake review—this is the passport for international courses.”
Q: The harvest from the first team competition?
“The students' exclamations when disassembling the opponent's robots are the most beautiful classroom feedback.”
Q: Advice for international students?
“Make good use of the laboratory; there are tools to change the world there.”
