Evaluation of IB Teaching Staff at Po Leung Kuk Choi Kai Yau School∗
Mainly written by Chat-GPT, Started by 2 Cambridge Rejects,
Edited and compiled by some bored IB students,
Information collected from fellow peers as mentioned in the Acknowledgements
Abstract
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the performance of our teachers and identify areas for improvement. We
conducted surveys and interviews with teachers, as well as observations of their teaching practices in the classroom.
Our findings indicate that the teachers at Po Leung Kuk Choi Kai Yau School are highly dedicated and committed to their students’ success. They demonstrate a strong understanding of the International Baccalaureate
curriculum and are skilled in delivering it effectively to their students.
However, we also identified some areas for improvement, such as the need for more professional development
opportunities for teachers and greater support for student well-being and mental health.
Based on our findings, we recommend that the school provide more opportunities for teachers to engage in
professional development and offer additional resources and support for student well-being. We believe that these
actions will help our teachers continue to provide the best possible education for our students.

is superior compared to something made on Microsoft Word. If you use Google Docs, please go into a corner and

like “un-o-thor-ro-rized”.

Ms Kameldeep Kaur
Figure 7: Edward’s selfie with Ms Kaur. (This makes much more sense given he’s in her English class.)
Ms Kameldeep Kaur is a teacher who specializes in the English A: Language and Literature Subject of the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme (IBDP). One of Ms Kaur’s stregnth is her loud and clear voice
Interestingly, her quotes can often be interpreted maliciously when out of context. The following quotes act as a
sample of the mountains worth of intriguing quotes from Ms Kaur.
1. “You emasculated me and I am a better person.”
2. “The Dutch came, and the British came too. They can’t go, so they go inside”
3. “I just like it when they: subjugate, enslave”
4. “Let me be your god now.”
5. “Diction. Cringe.”
6. “Don’t say I feel this I feel that, no one cares about that.”
7. “Cyberbullying? Very good.”
8. “This is the feminine group; this is the masculine group.”
While questionable when out of context, these quotes serve as iconic and entertaining moments that make lessons
lively and make content memorable. We look forward to seeing how this influences student performance.
Area for Improvement: It is advised for Ms Kaur to think twice before speaking; her language is often highly
questionable when taken out of context.

The teaching style is also unique within the department, integrating group discussions, writing, reading and listening
practices with the teaching of English themes. Students in Ms Cheng’s class all experienced significant improvement
within English grades, increasing 2-3 grades within Ms Cheng’s teaching. Marking speed is also considered above
average within the department. We consider this achievement to be top tier within the school.
In addition, Ms Cheng is a hardworking and enthusiastic teacher who uses a variety of teaching methods to
engage students and inspire them to learn. Moreover, it is clear that Ms Cheng has improved in spelling students
names, namely “Vicki” which she has been struggling to spell for 2 whole years.

She also encourages her students to ask questions and to think critically about the material, which helps to deepen
their understanding of the subject matter.
Overall, we believe that Ms. Lee is a highly effective teacher who has made a positive impact on her students.
We appreciate her efficiency in marking student work, as well as her dedication to her students’ academic success.
We are confident that she will continue to inspire and motivate her students to achieve their full potential.
For students who are unaware of this, do NOT enter any classroom Ms Lee is using. In the case where you have
left your pencil case or something like a calculator which you need in an exam, remember to knock, apologize and
ask politely. Otherwise, you will not only fail your exam because you do not have what you need, but you might
feel worse than failing. If I were you, I would just turn my head and walk away like nothing happened.
Also, I should not have to warn you about this, but TURN OFF YOUR PHONE LIKE SERIOUSLY, if it rings
during Ms Lee’s AAHL lessons (to be honest should be any lesson), expect to find Ms Tang after school. Kids
nowadays.
Area for Improvement: Given that the class average in tests is still consistently lower than the other AAHL
class after doing more homework compared to them, it raises questions regarding the effectiveness of homework.
This might be the student body’s problem, but we do think that the amount of homework could be reduced.

Mr Timothy Tsoi
Figure 10: Picture of Mr Timothy Tsoi during online lessons. He is definitely handsome as observed in this picture.
Our evaluation of Mr. Tsoi’s performance as a teacher indicates that he is highly skilled in teaching mathematics
and has a deep understanding of the subject matter. He is able to explain complex concepts in a clear and concise
manner, and his students consistently perform well on assessments.
Mr. Tsoi makes interesting comments in class, making students much more excited for AAHL. Notable quotes
from Mr. Tsoi include the following,
1. gg.
2. Understand?
3. W E A K
4. ok we keep on
5. Even bb knows
6. I am humble/poor baby
7. Careful king
8. I feel sad for you
9. Beauty of math
The list goes on...
In addition to his expertise in mathematics, Mr. Tsoi is also an effective leader as the department head for
TOK. He has developed a strong curriculum for the course and works closely with other teachers to ensure that it
is delivered effectively.
One of the strengths we observed in Mr. Tsoi’s teaching practices is his ability to create a positive and supportive
classroom environment. He is approachable and encourages his students to ask questions and seek help when
needed. He also provides timely and constructive feedback on student work, which helps his students to improve
their understanding of the subject matter.
A special strength that has been observed is Mr. Tsoi’s extraordinary fashion sense, and this probably makes
him the best dressed teacher in the school. Period.
Overall, we believe that Mr. Tsoi is a skilled and dedicated teacher who is committed to his students’ success.
We recommend that he continue to develop his teaching practices, particularly in the areas of student engagement
and classroom management, and we look forward to seeing him continue to excel as a maths teacher and TOK
department head at Po Leung Kuk Choi Kai Yau School.
Area for Improvement: We suggest that Mr. Tsoi choose one of the following: “humble” or “handsome”,
as it is obvious that a humble person would not claim to be handsome. Other examples include “you are weak”.
Although such comments are valid, it contradicts with the humble character. Although the “handsome” claim is
probably less restricting than being “humble”, the legitimacy of such claim is controversial (please refer to figure
10). Other common phrases such as “poor baby” however, could be kept. The laughter can also be toned down at
some instances to reduce the mental stress on students.

in enhancing students’ understanding of the subject matter. His dedication to his students is also evident in his
willingness to mark papers on Sundays, ensuring that students receive prompt and detailed feedback on their work.
One of Dr Kuan’s most impressive qualities is his ability to provide elaborate feedback on students’ Internal
Assessments (IAs) and Extended Essays (EEs). His attention to detail and thoroughness in evaluating students’
work is highly impressive, and has contributed significantly to the success of our students in these assessments.
As a vice principal, Dr Kuan has also demonstrated strong leadership skills, working collaboratively with other
staff members to ensure the smooth running of our school. His experience as an educational psychologist has been
highly valuable in this role, as he is able to provide valuable insights and guidance on educational policies and
practices.
Overall, Dr James Kuan is an exceptional teacher and vice principal who has made a significant impact on our
school community. His dedication, expertise, and leadership skills have contributed significantly to the success of
our students and the smooth running of our school. We are fortunate to have him as a member of our staff and
look forward to his contributions to the school in the future.
Area of Improvement: We’ve noticed that Dr Kuan enjoys seeing students “in November”. A survey of IB
students have found that students are generally against seeing Dr Kuan or relevant IB coordinators and teachers
“in November”. Further study is needed regarding the reasons behind and its effect.

impact on his students and colleagues. His dedication to his students’ academic success and his distinctive teaching
style have helped to create a dynamic and engaging learning environment in his classroom. We appreciate his
contributions to our school and look forward to his continued success in the future.
Area for Improvement: We recommend that Mr. Lam learns to distinguish between degrees and radians.
In general, it is important to use a calculator, as although we acknowledge Mr. Lam’s exceptional mental math,
sometimes you just need the calculator. Some students have also suggested that Mr. Lam should get more sleep.
Sleeping should be prioritised in front of marking IAs.

Figure 19: Picture of Mrs Hodgson
It’s with a heavy heart that I write this review for Mrs Hodgson, who has been an invaluable asset to our school.
Mrs Hodgson consistently goes above and beyond in their work, always delivering high-quality results on time and
with great attention to detail. Their efficiency and dedication have been a true inspiration to us all. However, it’s
clear that Mrs Hodgson is struggling with personal issues, namely a student called Kaden, and I hope they know
that they have our support and encouragement. We appreciate everything they have done for us and wish them all
the best.
Quotes:
1.“I hope no one is stupid enough to take you up on your world domination plan cuz I have something called
intelligence”
2.“Do you know what boy bands need? They need to be extremely handsome, tall and have the ability to mime”
3.“I really hope to get covid now”(she realised she has lessons every day of the week with Kaden)
4.“I think you’re confusing me with God, Kaden”
5.“Sometimes you get the feeling that everything is falling apart, including myself”
6.“What is the point of life”
7.“She’s not aggressive, just antisocial like me”(talking about her dog)
Noteworthy quotes:
1.“Hitler came in hard, he stayed hard”
2.“Man on man, they enjoyed that”(talking about gladiators in ancient Rome)
Area for Improvement: Mrs Hodgson is one of the most holistic teachers in the school, with wide ranging
and detailed knowledge. However, the pace at which she assigns homework, and the subsequent speed in which she
marks the papers, has trapped her students in a cycle of writing. A large component of the study of History has
already been dedicated to writing source evaluation in class, yet the amount of extended source evaluation and essay
questions assigned as homework have never ceased to inspire History students to embark on a journey of self-doubt
and existential crisis. The problem is exacerbated as Mrs Hodgson is highly efficient at marking homework, whether
they are source questions or essay responses; causing History students to believe they can never catch up with the
workload. To improve this weakness, Mrs Hodgson may assign less homework and take more rest between marking
papers to allow for sufficient time for both herself and her students to recuperate. Additionally, Mrs Hodgson may
share more invaluable life advice with her class while talking about Kaden, the member of class who only scrolls
through reddit during lessons and has only typed 12 pages of notes in 2 months, to vent her frustrations at his
inattentiveness, subsequently easing students’stress in IB.

We are fortunate to have such dedicated members of staff.
Finally, Mr Lam’s sense of humour and love for entertainment have also made him a popular figure among

with them to help them identify their interests and passions, and then encourages them to pursue these through a

has helped to foster a sense of self-awareness and personal growth among his students.

always available to provide extra support and guidance, whether it’s helping a struggling student with their fitness
