横琴德威 | DHHQ的毕业生，今年以新的角色重返母校|国际学校|德威|教师|横琴|毕业生|高中

编者按

中国之南，世界之窗，湾区心脏，智胜发展。位于广东省珠海市南部的横琴是粤港澳大湾区重要的经济合作区域之一，也是中国开放的前沿窗口之一。在连接中国与世界的枢纽之地，坐落着一所高水平的国际学校，横琴德威国际课程高中项目（前身为珠海德威国际高中）。德威公学的英式血脉和开放岭南的中式思想交融于此，孕育着“心怀世界，智胜全球”的国际化人才。

毕业多年后，Mandy Zhu以另一重身份回到了横琴德威，跟随本文一同来看看她以教师身份在横琴德威的生活吧！

Ms. Mandy Zhu

横琴德威国际课程高中项目

数学教师

毕业多年，从伦敦大学学院（UCL）学成后，Mandy带着对教育的信念和热情以数学教师的身份重返德威的校园。

在UCL读心理学的那段时光里，我深入接触到了教育心理学的领域。通过学习，我体会到了教育在个人成长道路上所扮演的至关重要的角色，它既是知识的启发者，也是人生阶段里的引路人。这让我找到了自己将来想发展的方向——当时，我就开始憧憬，希望能成为一位教师！

Mandy老师的数学课堂

重新走进高中母校的校园，Mandy的感受是觉得又亲切又神奇。亲切的是这里似曾相识的校园气氛，气氛轻松的课堂、活跃的CCA，还有她也曾效力的篮球校队。

Mandy在高中时，除了学习成绩优异，曾获IGCSE全球数学最高分（ “Top of the World” ），还是女子篮球队的队长！神奇的是校园的环境焕然一新，并且同时还与自己学生时代的老师Mr. Sweeney和Mr. Blevins共事。

Mandy回忆起自己当年的一位体育兼人文老师，给了她许多对于教师这个角色的理解。在课堂上，专业地传授知识，帮助学生体会学科的趣味；在课后，像朋友一样轻松地与学生交流；赛场上，理智冷静地和队员分析比赛战术，给予他们鼓励。

Mandy 老师的快问快答

问

以新的身份回到德威是什么样的感受？

答

我对德威还是有很深厚的感情，因为在学校里度过了很多快乐的时光。虽然旧校园的空间比这里小，但同学之间的相处更加亲切，所以创造了很多回忆。现在作为老师，我希望将自己的知识和新的视觉带给新一代的学生。

问

您认为教学当中最有趣的部分是什么？

答

数学的领域里有很多看似抽象的概念。我很高兴能看到同学们通过我的讲解，从陌生到理解并学会运用这些概念。比如，12年级数学中有一项“条件概率”的知识点，一开始接触的时候可能会比较抽象，但我就以班上男生和女生戴眼镜的实际情况去带入，同学们就很容易理解了。

问

到目前为止的职业生涯中，您认为收获到的最宝贵的经验是什么？

答

我认为耐心是比较重要的。因为每位同学的学习方式是不一样，老师不仅是要解释知识，更重要的是要教他们方法，授人以渔。

问

请您提供一个学习数学的秘诀。

答

（笑）这个我当学生的时候也被问及，其实数学不难，主要需要记住和理解概念及其背后的原理并加以运用。现在当老师，我会尽量带领大家从探究实际的问题出发，提高同学们对数学的兴趣，再深挖当中的知识点。此外，就是要定期并持续地复习和巩固知识。

问

除了数学教师的工作以外，您目前还在担任横琴德威国际课程高中项目的校友协调员（Alumni Coordinator），对这份工作的期待是什么？

答

我觉得还是很荣幸能接到这个工作！我希望能加强校友之间的联系，帮助大家搭建一个DHHQ毕业生的交流平台，去拓展人脉和“Have More Fun”！

当然，我也要在这大力呼吁同学们，在毕业后，也要来加入我们德威的World-Alumni-Network（“WAN”）校友会！你还将在这里结识很多其他德威学校的毕业生！

问

对于教学生涯，您的目标是什么？

答

我希望不仅能培养学生在学术上有所成就，还能培养他们看世界的眼光，学会拥有critical thinking（批判性思维），an open mind of learning（开放的学习心态）, 和independence（独立品格）。期待在10年以后，如果能再次遇到我的学生，能看到他们都在做着自己喜欢的事情。

结语

Mandy老师认为，教育的本身有很多方面，不仅是考试，还有诸如思维方式和解决问题的能力。教育的本身就是要教会学生怎么做人和做事，有独立的思维，懂得尊敬他人和自己。

Ms Mandy Zhu

Dulwich International High School Programme Hengqin

Teacher of Maths

With a strong belief in and enthusiasm for education, Mandy returned to the Dulwich campus as a math teacher after graduating from University College London (UCL).

“During my time studying Psychology at UCL, I was deeply exposed to Educational Psychology.I have learnt that education plays a vital role in the path of personal growth, both as an inspirer of knowledge and a guide in the stages of life. It gave me a guidance of what I wanted to be in the future- It was then that I began to envision myself as a teacher.”

Ms Mandy's Maths Class

Walking back into the campus of her high school alma mater, Mandy felt both intimate and magical. It's the similar atmosphere, with its laid-back classes, active CCAs and the basketball team she played on,where Mandy excelled academically at high school, achieving the highest score for IGCSE Maths (“Top of the World”) and being captain of the girls' basketball team!

Miraculously, the campus has been given a new look, while at the same time working with Mr Sweeney and Mr Blevins, teachers from her school days as a student.

Mandy recalls a former PE and Humanities teacher who gave her a great insight into the role of a teacher. He imparted knowledge in a professional manner and helped the students to enjoy the subject; after class, he communicated with the students as easily as a friend; on the pitch, he analysed the tactics of the game with the players in a rational and calm manner and gave them encouragement.

Quick Q&A for Ms Mandy:

How is it returning to Dulwich in a new role?

I still have strong feelings about Dulwich as I spent a lot of great time here. Althoughthe old campus was much smaller than here at Hengqin, the students were more intimate with each other, we made so many memories together. Now, I hope to bring my knowledge and new vision to the new generation of students.

What do you find the most interesting part about teaching?

Mathematics is full of seemingly abstract concepts.I was glad to see how my students went from being unfamiliar to understanding and learning to use these concepts as I explained them. For example, in Year 12 Maths there is a topic on “conditional probability”, which may seem abstract at first, but I introduced the fact with the boys and girls in my class wear glasses, and the students were able to understand it easily!

What do you think has been the most valuable experience of your career so far?

I think patience is pretty important.Because each student learns in a different way. It's not enough for a teacher to just explain knowledge; they should also teach students the method and how to learn.

Couldyou give us a tip for learning Maths?

(Laughs) I was asked the same question when I was a student.Maths is not that difficult, but you have to remember, understand and apply the concepts and principles behind them.And now that as a teacher, I will try my best to get my class to tackle practical problems first, then to get them interested in maths and go deeper into the knowledge points. It's also important to regularly review and consolidate the knowledge.

In addition to your work as a Teacher of Maths, you are currently working as the Alumni Coordinator for DHHQ, what are the expectations of this job?

I am honoured to be given this role! I hope to strengthen alumni links and help to create a platform for DHHQ graduates to network and“Have More Fun”！

Of course, I'm going to make a strong appeal to our current students to join our Dulwich World-Alumni-Network ('WAN') Alumni Association after they graduate! You'll meet lots of other Dulwich School alumni!

What goals do you have for your teaching career?

I hope to educate students not only to be academically successful,but I also want to help them develop a global perspective, critical thinking skills, an openness to learning, and independence.I look forward to seeing my students doing what they love when I meet them in 10 years' time.

Conclusion

Mandy believes that education itself has many aspects, not just exams, but things like attitudes and problem-solving skills. Teaching students how to behave, act, think independently and respect others and themselves is the essence of education.
