I am Dr. Mohsen Hashemi – mathematician, teacher, and author.

Academic and Teaching Background

Since beginning my master’s studies at Massey University in 2015, I have taught a range of university-level mathematics courses. Before moving to New Zealand, I spent over 16 years in Iran preparing high school students for the International Mathematical Olympiad (IMO). My teaching career in Iran was recognised with multiple awards, and my students consistently achieved outstanding results:

• Three consecutive best average scores in the national calculus exam.
• Three first-place finishes in the national university entrance exam (over 1 million participants each year).

Author and Educational Content Creator

I have authored six high school mathematics books, published in 25 editions and recognised as best-sellers. Alongside these, I produced three educational DVD series with my publisher, each selling over 100,000 copies.

Advanced Olympiad Teaching

From 2000 to 2014, I taught Advanced Calculus, Geometry, and Combinatorics for the Olympiad programme at Farzanegan 1 High School – ranked the top school in the Middle East for gifted girl students. During this time, students from the school won 181 Olympiad medals across various subjects.

Since 2020, I have been the Senior Teacher for the New Zealand Mathematical Olympiad (NZMO) national team.
