KENNETH D. SIBAL, MAT

KENNETH D. SIBAL, MAT

I have been teaching mathematics for sixteen years across four educational levels: Grade 6 (Elementary), Middle School (Grades 7–9), High School (Grades 10–12), and as a part-time college instructor. I taught for 11 years in the Philippines, 4 years at an international school in Saudi Arabia, and I am currently in my first year teaching in the United States. I earned my Master of Arts in Teaching (MAT), majoring in Mathematics, from the University of Saint Louis.

In addition to classroom teaching, I coach students for national and international mathematics competitions through the Mathematics Trainer's Guild Philippines. While in the Philippines, I became part of Team Philippines as one of the coaches for students who participated in mathematics competitions in Hong Kong, China, Thailand, and Singapore. I have coached students in competitions such as the Challenge for Future Mathematicians, Chong Hua Cup Math Competition, World Mathematics Invitational, International Mathematics Wizards Challenge, and the International Mathematics Olympiad for Young Achievers.

I continued my work in Saudi Arabia, where I served as both the Head of the Mathematics Department and High School Coordinator. During this time, I coached students in various mathematics competitions conducted both online and onsite. I also had the opportunity to serve as the head coach of Team Saudi Arabia in the International Talent Mathematics Contest. In addition, I became a contributor to the International Mathematics Competition Question Development Team. This recognition led to my inclusion as one of the “Recognized Mathematicians of 2025” at the IMC Bangkok 2025.

Through these humble contributions to the field of mathematics education, I was honored as one of the recipients of the Outstanding Teacher of the Year Award 2026 during the World Leaders Summit and Award held in New Delhi, India.
