Mrs. Studinarz is a ninth grade Biology teacher at Wayne Hills High School. She has been teaching for 18 years. And out of the 18 years she has taught high school for 15 years. She explained that her teaching style as laid back and chill. Her favorite thing about teaching biology is that she always liked that science is always changing every year because it feels like she is teaching new things. One thing that Mrs. Studinarz enjoys about being a teacher is interacting with this generation. Mrs. Studinarz decided to become a teacher when she was in elementary school. However, in college She decided that She wanted to study biology and work in the medical field. Then she decided to go back for her masters in education after doing medical research and not enjoying it.

One of the biggest challenges Mrs. Studinarz has about being a teacher is keeping students attention for a subject matter that the students don’t find interesting. And a fun fact about Mrs. Studinarz is that her two favorite hobbies are crocheting and spending time with her cats. She finds them both relaxing.

Here’s a story about Mrs. Studinarz’s first day of being a teacher.

¨ On my first day as a teacher I was nervous, but it was an exciting new experience for me. I was teaching grades K-5 but I really enjoyed working with the preschoolers that year!¨

I asked Mrs. Studinarz former student Natiya Bennett, a junior at Wayne Hills High School about what she thought about Mrs. Studinarz.

Natiya Bennett had Mrs. Studinarz as a teacher in her freshman year in 2022-2023. Natiya always liked Mrs. Studinarz’s personality because she was always really funny and sarcastic whenever she taught in class. Natiya explained to me that Mrs. Studinarz would always have a particular way of teaching and it would be easier to learn the subject because of that. Natiya Bennett enjoyed Mrs. Studinarz as her teacher.
