Originally from Egypt, Dr. Hany Eldeib is starting his first year as a math teacher at West Po..
He came to America for the first time in 1978 for a summer internship, and ended up coming back and staying for college at the University of Virginia, Dr. Hany graduated with a bachelors and masters in engineering and a Ph.D. in systems engineering from the University of Virginia in 1986.
Dr. Hany taught at a school in DC in 2022 and made the move to West Potomac in 2023. He teaches multiple classes at West Potomac, 3 AP Calculus AB classes, 1 Algebra 1 Honors class, and 1 AP Computer Science class.
Dr. Hany has two children, a boy and a girl, who are both in their 20s and both have red hair.
In his freetime, he loves to watch “foreign” movies and he enjoys reading books about history as it is “his favorite subject outside of math.”
“I very much enjoy watching movies and it is hard for me to pick a favorite one,” Dr.Hany said. “However if I had to pick a series it would be The Godfather movies.”
At one point in time, Dr. Hany was working a corporate job when he realized that it just wasn’t for him and decided that teaching math could be cool.
“Math has always been a subject I love, and it played a significant role in my education and career,” Dr Hany said. ‘When I left my corporate job I felt that giving back some of my knowledge in math to the younger generations was my calling, and I found that I enjoy teaching math to high school students tremendously.”
