"To experiment and venture beyond your comfort zone, to find what you love, to pursue it with discipline and verve, to find companions and mentors along the way, and ultimately, to put your own skills and passion to good use is the journey for which I hope to prepare our students. It is a challenge, a privilege and a joy."
Renée Boey loves to teach and she loves to learn. She caught the teaching bug as a college student when she taught at a Boston public high school for the Harvard Project for International Education and served as the Director of the Phillips Brooks House Citizenship Program that offered naturalization assistance to immigrants. These experiences made her see the life-changing impact education can make within and beyond the classroom. Education has long since become a profession and a passion for her.
Renée’s teaching approach has been shaped by her exposure to a variety of school systems and cultures. She enjoyed her experiences at both local and international schools growing up in Hong Kong and completed her high school education at St. Paul’s School in Concord, N.H. The deeply formative years at St. Paul’s gave Renée the liberty to nurture her interest in many subjects and extracurricular activities as well as the opportunity to learn from a diverse community of peers and teachers. The school’s emphasis on the arts and humanities as well as service instilled in Renée a vital appreciation for creativity, thinking from multiple perspectives along with a desire to lead a meaningful life. These values underpin the mission of Baker & Bloom.
After graduating from Harvard College as an English major with a language citation in Japanese, Renée obtained an M. Phil in Renaissance Literature at Cambridge University. She returned to Hong Kong, completed a teaching internship at St. Paul’s Co-Educational College and received her Postgraduate Diploma in Education at the University of Hong Kong. Since then, she has coupled her passion for literature and education as a creative writing teacher, an educational consultant for schools such as St. Stephen’s College, a board member of the HKMA David Li Kwok Po College, and most rewardingly, as an IB English and Humanities teacher at The ISF Academy. She stays connected to her US boarding school, St. Paul's School as a main form agent and also serves as a Board Director of the Harvard Club of Hong Kong.
As a teacher, she has seen how the pressure of tests too often stifles the imagination and how the stress of college admissions saps the pleasure of learning. To address these concerns, Renée and her team have done extensive research, designed original curricula, and pursued professional development to prepare young people to face these challenges with positivity, integrity, and creative confidence.
Renée is excited to be harnessing her experience, skills, and passion to launch Baker & Bloom. It is her fervent hope that Baker and Bloom will offer young people an ideal environment to grow and a community of inspiration and innovation.

“To thy own self be true.” – William Shakespeare
Jay Poon's interest in education came from his time studying at Diocesan Boys' School and pursuing the IB Diploma at Shatin College. Fascinated by the different modes of teaching in those two institutions and the types of learners they produced, he realized that there is no singular way to teach or to learn, and a teacher’s role is to help students find their own path. He has since assimilated and applied those insights in his time teaching kindergarten, primary and secondary school students. Since completing his undergraduate degree in History at University College London (UCL), he has tutored students across Hong Kong in IGCSE and IB English, History and Film.
An avid reader, writer and moviegoer, Jay looks to ignite in his students a passion to creatively and constructively engage with the world through the use of media and the practice of self-reflection in the classroom. At Baker and Bloom, his efforts to foster individuality have helped students between the ages 5 and 15 reach important milestones on the road to academic and lifelong success, from discovering their first favorite author to gaining admission to top boarding schools in the UK and the US.

Academic Coach & Teacher
Chanel Phengdy is passionate about education particularly critical thinking and the humanities. She believes that in order to become successful and contributing members of society that young people should build a strong foundation of critical thinking and problem solving skills and possess general knowledge of relevant world issues. As a teacher, she tries to facilitate an open dialogue with her students to help them formulate their own opinions through the form of guided discussions and debates.

Chanel is a 'firm yet fair' teacher and holds her students to high standards, but gives them ample time and encouragement to reach expectations. She is very flexible and makes sure to help each student with their individual needs while still maintaining a fun classroom dynamic. As an educator, Chanel aims to play on her students' strengths while also targeting their weaknesses which in turn provides for a holistic learning experience. She enjoys incorporating innovative technology and exciting activities to keep students engaged in the classroom. Her goal is to facilitate student learning by encouraging students to participate and integrate their prior knowledge with the new lesson material. She believes these techniques allow for high-level engagement and thus better student performance and achievement inside and outside the classroom.
Apart from teaching at Baker & Bloom, Chanel encourages a healthy work-life balance for both herself and students alike. She plays field hockey in the Hong Kong Women’s Adult League for Valley RFC. When she’s not in the classroom or on the pitch, she enjoys jetsetting off to new and exciting destinations.
