An Interview with Mr Aydin Korucuoglu

by Maia Bucura, Year 8

1. What is your favourite thing about teaching?

My favorite thing about being a teacher is interacting with the students and seeing them succeed in what they want to do.

2. What experience at IBSB until now has been most memorable to you?

This one is funny. My most memorable experience is meeting the kid of one of my ex students that I used to teach many years ago in this school.

3. What is your favourite food in Romania?

My favorite dessert is definitely papanasi, and my favorite food is mamaliga. I am used to having mamaliga made by my mom, but I remember her special recipe made the dish into a sweet one, so it was a surprise for me to taste salty mamaliga in Romania.

4. What do you like most about IBSB?

I like how professional the school’s attitude is and also enjoy the company of my colleagues.

5. Describe yourself in 5 words.

Sporty, tech-savvy, traveler, familist, and outdoorsman

6. Where do you see yourself in 10 years?

It is a difficult question. You never know what the future holds, but I think I will continue to pursue computer science and IT, whether that involves teaching or not, I’m not sure.
