My name is Khuram Syal. I was born in Sahiwal, Pakistan, and came to NY when I was 2 years old. Then when I was in 4^th grade, we went back home and stayed there until 9^th grade. After that, we moved back here permanently, and have been living in Queens, NY since.

I graduated from Flushing High School, with a Bachelors in Mathematics and Computer Science from Queens College CUNY, received my Teaching Education Credentials from Queens College CUNY, and Masters in Education from Queens College CUNY.

I work at BHS under many positions, including : Math Teacher, Mentor Teacher, Data Specialist, Technology SPOC, Testing Coordinator, AP Coordinator. I have taught all math from Algebra 1 to Calculus during my 15 years in BHS, and have enjoyed each one on its own! Each of them comes with their own challenges, and I like to find ways to find different ways of approaching a problem. My goal is to show students as many ways of solving a problem as I can, because each of us thinks differently. I also enjoy using online tools like EdPuzzle for videos, or Desmos for graphing activities.

Since BHS is the ONLY school I have taught at, I have strong emotions connected with this place and its people. As such, I want BHS to become the best version of itself! To me, that means a couple of different things... me being able to find student interests early on and utilizing them positively in classes, students earning credits in their classes so they can have a smooth transition from one grade to the next, and our alumni thinking back with good memories and wanting to come back and visit us!

Fun fact, I absolutely LOVE puzzles! This is why the programming aspect of Computer Science attracts me so much, with all of its small details that change the whole result! And of course, I love Rubik's cubes of all shapes and sizes!
