Sören Hanson 韩树仁

Sören joined PKS in 2023 after seven years of outward and inward exploration. His journey is highlighted by the investigation of different cultures, languages, classroom environments, subject matters, and self-discovery. He has taught in grades 2, 4, 5, 6, 8, and 9-12, covering a range of topics including English Literature, Mathematics, Mandarin Chinese, Astronomy, Statistics, and ESL. His travels have placed him inside private boarding schools in New England, a Public Charter School, a private elementary school in Nanjing, China, and academic spaces in Austria, Australia, and Costa Rica.

Outside of the classroom Sören surfs, practices yoga, loves hiking, biking, and generally being in nature with others. If it’s raining, you can find Sören reading in a cozy space and looking for meaningful conversation. Sören recently stepped away from playing semi-professional baseball in Europe and Australia, though you might find him playing under some lights in the competitive Bay Area Men’s League.
