About

Minhyung teaches IB Geography and Environmental Systems and Societies (ESS), bringing a quantitative background to two subjects often taught from a purely descriptive angle. He earned a degree in Quantitative Risk Management from Yonsei University after completing his IB Diploma at an international school in Indonesia. His training in risk modelling translates directly into his ESS work, particularly around sustainability metrics and environmental impact analysis.

Teaching Style

Strategy over memorisation

Drills exam-structure thinking rather than rote content recall — mapping case studies to command terms and optimising time allocation.

Assessment-objective alignment

Teaches students how to write Paper 2 essays that directly address assessment objectives, and how to deploy case studies strategically across papers.

Syllabus-to-exam translation

Cuts the overwhelming content volume into exam-deployable units — making massive subject matter manageable and focused.

Ideal for: students overwhelmed by Geography/ESS content volume, or those who need exam-strategy clarity
