Nochi, commonly known as Leo, has an extensive academic background. Graduated with MSc in Economics and Finance (Distinction) from KCL, he also studied in the United States, Australia, and Hong Kong, with a Master’s degree of Business Administration, a Master’s degree in Government and Commercial Law, a Master’s degree of Accounting, and a Bachelor’s degree in Information Engineering.

Leo has held both teaching and management roles in universities and higher education institutes since 2010, in Hong Kong and the UK. While he is currently teaching Mathematics and Economics in King’s Foundation, he previously taught accounting, finance, business management, and commercial law. He won two teaching awards in 2013 and 2016 as a law teacher, and got three teaching awards nominations in 2023 and 2024 as an economics teacher in King’s Foundation. Before working in higher education, he worked as manager in a publicly listed utility company and associate director of an investment firm.

Leo does not like staying in any comfort zone and is always doing or learning something new – as demonstrated by his ever-shifting teaching focus. His adventurous spirit goes beyond academics. He completed an NVQ certificate course in women's hairdressing in 2023, and then took social dancing classes throughout 2024. He is now thinking about learning to speak a new language, learning to play piano, or learning how to maintain a boiler.
