Ivan brings a rare mix of energy, creativity, and care to his work with young people. A BC-certified educator with a background in both Physical Education and Drama, he has taught, coached, and mentored students across Vancouver Island and beyond. From directing full-scale theatre productions to coaching volleyball and basketball, Ivan thrives on helping youth discover their strengths—whether on stage, on the court, or in the classroom. He is equally at home leading a chess club, tutoring academic subjects, or supporting students one-on-one with patience and encouragement. With a thoughtful approach that blends expertise and empathy, Ivan meets students where they are and helps them move forward. Outside of work, he’s passionate about sports, outdoor adventure, and finding new ways to connect learning with life.
