Question 1

When I was in the 1st grade, I was really close to my homeroom teacher, we called her Teacher Elena. I was about 7 years old. In my school, the homeroom teacher teaches all of the subjects until the 3rd grade.

Question 2

It was a tough time for my family during those times, and she was sort of like a second mother to me and was very kind. I felt really happy and comfortable with her.

Question 3

My worst teacher was my math teacher in college. The other students didn't like her very much, but we needed to take her college to meet our requirements.

Question 4

She was really boring and mean to the students that weren't good at math, which was 95% of the class.

Question 5

I am a teacher! I never expected to teach English, but I have always loved studying English and Literature in school. We had to take an aptitude test back in my senior year of high school and I scored very highly for linguistic abilities.

Question 6

I would definitely be the worst at teaching math. In school I would get 85-95% in every subject except math. I just don't get it.
