Pawan B.
Pawan B. is an aspiring STEM educator with a Bachelor of Science in Mathematics and Computer Science from UBC Okanagan. Growing up in Kamloops, British Columbia, he developed a deep interest in technology, mathematics, and the creative world of video games. Throughout his undergraduate degree, Pawan explored advanced mathematics, programming, and game development — fields he always imagined bringing into the classroom to inspire future learners!
Pawan’s passion for education grew from seeing how students thrive when they feel genuinely connected to what they are learning. He is especially motivated by helping students recognize their own abilities, develop independence, and see themselves as capable problem-solvers. Whether teaching math, physics, or computer science, Pawan aims to empower every learner to take ownership of their growth and to see relevance, joy, and possibility in their work.
Through his teaching and tutoring experience, Pawan has developed a strong philosophy around mathematics: he believes that becoming a math educator means helping students understand that mathematics is not just about results — it is the process of thinking, reasoning, and viewing the world through a mathematical lens. He emphasizes that math is a learnable skill, much like playing an instrument or mastering a challenging video game level. With patience, encouragement, guidance, and lots of practice (where mistakes are highly encouraged), he helps students build confidence and develop a durable mathematical understanding.
Alongside his classroom experience, Pawan has several years of one-on-one tutoring experience with students from elementary to university. He specializes in math, physics, and computer science, and often teaches students how to design and program their own video games — showing how logic, problem-solving, and mathematics power everything behind the scenes. His lessons are interactive, student-centered, and tailored to each learner’s interests so they feel seen and supported.
As a mentor, Pawan continues to explore strategies for engaging students through experiential, game-based, and inquiry-driven learning. He finds supporting students’ growth deeply rewarding and sees each learning journey as a partnership. Outside of teaching, Pawan enjoys coding new game prototypes, tinkering with computers, and experimenting with creative project ideas — many of which end up enriching his lessons. Fun fact: a well-known YouTuber once played one of Pawan’s video games live on stream in front of thousands of viewers, sparking his commitment to helping young people experience the joy of building games themselves.
