Anna Theresa Tillmann

Chemistry Teacher
My education journey spans over a decade in the United Kingdom, where I explored academia, research, and teaching. Throughout my time in the UK, I completed my PhD and Postdoc followed by a career change becoming a secondary school teacher. My teaching journey began in Scotland, where I obtained my teaching qualification and taught the Scottish Curriculum, and later led me to Portugal, where I dedicated the past five years to educating students in IGCSE and A Levels Chemistry and Biology at an International School.

Equipped with a solid foundation in biochemistry from the University of Aberdeen and University College London (UCL), I bring a wealth of experience to my role, spanning from research projects to student guidance and mentorship. With an unwavering commitment to staying abreast of the latest advancements in science and teaching methodologies, I ensure that my lessons resonate with real-world significance, fostering an engaging and dynamic learning atmosphere.

I am very excited to get to know the IB system as well as all my new colleagues and pupils that come from so many interesting backgrounds and places.
In my free time, I love to explore nature through hiking with my family, enjoy in the exploration of diverse cultures and cuisines, yoga, origami, photography, and music. Malaysia, with its blend of landscapes, cultures, and flavours, seems like the perfect place for these passions to flourish.
