Mr. Ryan Heggemann is a new full-time math teacher to Pattonville, but not unfamiliar with the high school or teaching math to students.
“I was at PHS last semester,” Heggemann said. “I also taught for one year in South Korea.”
Teaching high school students compared to primary school studentsĀ is quite different and Heggemann prefers to teach math in the high school.
“I don’t have a preferred age group, but I like teaching all high schoolers.”
Currently, Heggemann teaches Algebra 1, Algebra 2, and Principles of Engineering, and studied math himself at the University of Missouri.
“I chose math because anywhere you go in the world, math is the same.”
