It is my greatest hope to inspire middle school students with a passion for life-long learning, especially in the incredible field of mathematics. Being a teacher puts me in a very advantageous position to instill a sense of curiosity and wonder in others.

Yumiko Akiba
8th Grade Mathematics Teacher
I LOVE Math! Math is my passion! As a professional gymnast, I never saw education as important and it was hard for me to balance school and sports. One day in 8th grade, something that my teacher said to me changed my life completely. She told me that “you can add and I am excited and proud of you”. From that day onwards, I worked hard and was able to appreciate all aspects of learning and education. Now, I love math and I hope that I can be that teacher to my students. Middle school is so critical to the development of a child. I hope students can see how excited I am when I teach math in the classroom. I want to inspire them to learn more about math and become lifelong learners!
