Instructor: Binhang Zhu
Binhang Zhu has completed his undergraduate degree in medical science at the University of Western Ontario, and will soon begin his second major in Computer Science. He has been a volunteer since Grade 7. During his years of learning Chinese at Yufeng, he also volunteered there and helped mark assignments and tests for kids in the lower grades. He has worked as a team leader at the Calgary Public Library for kids’ math, computer and reading programs, and also as a coordinator at ECSSEN Career School for the donation distribution program. He loves math, physics, and chemistry and has won several awards during highschool and university. He greatly enjoys teaching physics at Inthinking Youth Club. He loves to share his knowledge and experience with young students in class, hoping that they will obtain more skills in physics and become more interested in science. Binhang feels that as a volunteer, he can help the people in need, making a good contribution to the community. He appreciates the opportunity given by Inthinking Youth Club and looks forward to helping more students in the upcoming semesters.
