Who's Ready to Learn Something?!

Test 2

  • Greetings, Young Scholars!

     

    My name is Matthew V. Williams and I'm a second-generation educator here at HHS; my mother Melinda L. Williams taught here for 20+ years and I'm following in her footsteps (although my style is very different than hers).  I consider myself an education advocate, believing that learning--- history in particular--- is far bigger than the classroom. My concentration area is History, but I am knowledgeable about many content areas because... I just love to think and learn!  On that note, if you see me tossing a Rubik's cube around, I'm trying to beat my best time; I'm down to 2 minutes and 30 seconds! >:-P

     

    Speaking of hobbies, my interests include music appreciation, gaming, automotive work, pencil drawing, current events, learning the stock market... I'm into a little of everything!  Therefore, I try to find ways to bring those things into the classroom with me to make history come alive. Also--- I've been a fan of the Memphis Grizzlies since waaaay back when Lionel Hollins was coaching.  So if you're a Golden State fan... 馃惢 馃惢 馃惢 馃惢 馃惢 take that!

     

    My classes this year include U.S. History (1st, 2nd, 6th, and 7th periods) and World Geography (3rd period).  That's generally 10th and 11th graders with a few 9th graders here and a few 12th graders there.  

     

     

    My educational background is that I've received my bachelor's degree from Augusta State University, where I majored in History and minored in Sociology (Sociology being my FAVORITE content area).  I'm currently in the TeacherReady program, which I am due to complete very soon.  After that, I intend to pursue my Master's degree either in my field or in... believe it or not, Math (I do a little math tutoring here and there).

     

    I can be reached at WilliMa6@boe.richmond.k12.ga.us, or via Remind once I have added you (my students) to my Remind rosters. I am available for tutoring on Thursdays from 2:30-3:30, or by appointment. 

     

    Looking forward to spending a GREAT YEAR with you!!

     



    Best Regards and God Bless,
