StudentMr. Michael didn’t just teach us how to solve equations—he taught us how to think critically and creatively. Thanks to his influence, I developed a genuine passion for mathematics, which led me to pursue a technical degree at university and continue exploring the subject through advanced electives.

IB StudentI don’t think you will believe me when I say en that one of my reasons for staying and taking IB Maths was you being my teacher.

StudentBeing a student in IB Mathematics AA HL under the tutelage of Mr. Michael Zardalian during the last two years was an absolute privilege, and I can confidently say that his pedagogical methods and commitment made a huge difference to my learning experience. Mr. Zardalian went above and beyond expectations at all times to make sure that all students, especially those who required additional support or directions, possessed the tools for success. His mathematical expertise was clear in each session, and his ability to explain complex concepts in understandable language proved instrumental in making things clear for me.
