Featured Educator: Rebecca Johnson

What sparked your interest in education? How did you end up working with CPET?

I always loved school and learning, but I also always struggled with math. In college, something clicked, and I realized how awesome mathematics was. I wanted to help other struggling students see the beauty in math and experience success in it as well. I heard about CPET through my friend, who told me how rewarding her experiences were working with CPET as a mathematics coach.
