A Bit About Me
My name is Kirby — and yes, that's my real name. My mum really did name me that.
The "51" is a tribute to Ichiro Suzuki, a baseball player I've admired since I was young. Ichiro was never the flashiest player on the field — he built his career on speed, discipline and mastering the fundamentals. I've always believed that how you do one thing is how you do everything, and it's a standard I try to hold myself to as a teacher as well: focused, disciplined, and unwilling to skip the basics.
Outside of teaching, my hobbies include writing, playing and watching baseball, and the occasional manga or anime — my students usually get my personal recommendations at the end of each exam year. I'm bilingual in English and Chinese, also fluent in Cantonese (helpful for students from Hong Kong), and hope to pick up another language one day.
