Students
I want to be a Mathematics Teacher because...
“I love mathematics, and I want to be able to inspire as many students as possible.”
“I’ve always wanted to get people more excited about math. I also want to help them realize how we use math, basic and advanced, in our everyday lives.”
“I enjoy working with students as a high school tutor, and I thought this would be a great profession for me.”
“I’ve always wanted to teach and math happens to be the subject I love the most.”
“I like math and want to share my enjoyment with others so they can appreciate ma
th and excel in it."
“I always had a good math teacher in high school, so I want to represent them.”
“I have found that I don’t really master a topic until I have had the chance to explain it to someone else. Teaching math will help me become better at it.
“I want to have a positive impact in the lives of my students, just as my math teacher had on me.”
“I feel that often math is not taught in holistic or inclusive ways. I want to foster intuitive understanding of math rather than discourage it."
“Math is one of the most important classes in high school. If you can allow people to like math, it opens up many more options for their future.”
“I have always been interested in math, and I have grown up with teachers in my family.”
“I have been tutoring students since my high school years. I love working with students and always walk away with a sense of accomplishment and a greater love of math.”
“I tutored students since middle school and high school. I enjoyed it and decided I wanted to continue teaching math in life.”
“High school is so crucial in a young person’s life, and having a teacher invest, mentor, and care about students in math can change their lives.”
“I want to make a difference and help students understand math. I want to give kids the option and chance to see math in a different and enjoyable way like I do.”
“I was a tutor for Upward Bound during the past academic year. Most of my students needed help with math. It surprised me when students would tell me that they weren’t good at math, or that they had no use for math. I want to change that.”
“My fondest experiences from my educational career come from math classes, so I want to share that experience with others.”
