what STUDENTS had to say about “miss phillips”:

“In all of my four years at Pinkerton, I have never had or even met someone who was as enthusiastic about teaching as you. This created a space that actually made learning fun and exciting. You are a very kind and understanding person which shows students that they can respect you and follow you without doubt. You have strong social skills and even stronger teaching skills. AKA keep doing YOU Miss Phillips, I loved it.”

“Please keep being what you are. You are amazing and made learning about Shakespeare great.”

“I really like how interactive you were… (you) made us be engaged in the learning. It was a lot more fun than just sitting there and being lectured at… I liked how you treated us as adults and not just like students which makes us feel respected as people.”

“Ms. Phillips was an incredible teacher in every sense. She made the lessons fun, brighten(ed) up the mood when people were stressed…”

“Your teaching style is phenomenal. I really enjoyed having you as a teacher because you were always motivated. It was always fun walking into class and seeing what you had in store… It was possibly the best English class I’ve had all of high school.”

“You have a very nice teaching style that is very personal and helps all of the class understand the information they need to learn… it was awesome having you as a teacher!”

You really got into the material even if the class wasn’t. From reading in different voices, to full character acting… (I) felt you understood us a bit more than some other teachers.”

“You were so energetic and genuinely loved teaching. You did a lot of little things that made class more fun.”

“Even though we only had you for less than 3 months, you were hands-down one of the best teachers I’ve had and this class was very fun with you!! We will miss you Ms. Phillips!”

“You are an amazing teacher. You will be the goat.”

“Motivation and making things fun is what made me look forward to the class”

“You brought great energy to the classroom and were always motivating (students) to learn… getting students excited about English even though that is a very very very hard thing to do. You also made things easy to understand when (students) didn’t understand the first time. Overall A+ you were the best.”

“I wouldn’t change anything you do.”

“Never lose your attitude. Positive attitudes are rare amongst teachers and students alike :).”
