New to Pine Crest’s mathematics apartment, Ms. Hernandez has already won her students’ hearts.
With her experience as not only a high school teacher of high level math, but also as a university instructor, Ms. Hernandez inspired us with her passion for teaching and her confidence toward the material.

In class, we are encouraged to calculate by hands instead of depending on calculators, which is very important for higher level math study. She also encourages us to think out of the box and discuss the problems with her. Her most incredible part, according to students, is her care and consideration for opinions. By asking for thoughts on the tests given and classroom work, Ms. Hernandez provide students a chance to communicate with her in a relaxing environment.

Ms. Hernandez has also quickly adapted Pine Crest technology. She started using the smart board in no time at all, fooling everyone of her status as a beginner.

As one of her students in Functions, I felt more confident about my success in that course because of her clear explanations about every key point. By having the chance to constantly participate in class, I most certainly comprehend more. One of my friends said to me: “Ms. Hernandez was so nice. I don’t get nervous asking questions if I don’t understand anything because she always talks to me in that kind voice.” For these reasons, we love Ms. Hernandez, who has definitely returned PC’s warm welcome.
