About
Hans teaches both Maths AA and Chemistry — a rare combination that bridges quantitative reasoning across both subjects. He completed his IB Diploma at Queensland Academies for Science, Mathematics and Technology (QASMT), Australia's premier IB selective school, then earned a Master's in Biomedical Sciences at the University of Queensland. After graduation, he returned to QASMT as an after-school Maths teacher before joining IBtheTOP, bringing both the top-student perspective and the teacher perspective on how IB Maths and Chemistry actually work in practice.
Teaching Style
Conceptual understanding first
Students learn why methods work before applying them — critical for Paper 3 HL and multi-step problems where pure formula recall falls short.
Biomedical context integration
Chemistry sessions weave in biomedical examples that resonate with students aiming for medicine or life sciences, making content clinically relevant.
Critical thinking via depth
Prioritises deep understanding over memorisation, building problem-solving intuition that transfers across question types and contexts.
