Voices from Our Learning Community
I am deeply grateful for the partnership of the parents, students, and educators I work with. Here is a look at the learning journeys and moments we have shared together.
A collage of heartfelt thank you notes from schools and educators I've worked with. Each message is a reminder of why I am so passionate about supporting teachers and creating joyful learning environments.
This beautiful handwritten letter from a teacher expresses how my play-based approach inspired her. It’s a powerful testament to the idea that when we empower teachers, we transform classrooms.
This collection of testimonials from parents and educators speaks to the impact of my work. From building a strong foundation in math to making learning an "eye-opener," these words are the greatest reward.
"The way she is approaching numbers is different." This message from a parent after their child started using the Yonjuu game is exactly what I hope to achieve. It’s about changing a child's entire relationship with math.
This wonderful feedback from a Math Head of Department highlights the success of a time management workshop. It’s gratifying to know that the session provided students with practical, memorable tools for success.
I am so grateful for the trust parents place in me. This note beautifully captures the goal of my work: to not only build math skills but to ignite a genuine love for learning. It’s about helping a child see their own potential and approach challenges with newfound confidence.
A teacher's medal is a heartfelt thank you. This video is a collection of some of the kind words and notes I've received from children, parents, and educators. Their trust and appreciation mean the world to me.
A throwback to some of my former students in New York. A teacher's heart is always full of memories of the students who have passed through their classroom. It's a joy to have been a part of their journey.
Happy Teacher's Day! This collage is a celebration of the many students and colleagues who have made my teaching journey so rich and rewarding. Each face represents a story, a connection, and a shared moment of learning.
This is my Teacher's Day message. I believe that once a teacher, always a learner. I have learned something from every child and teacher I've worked with, and I will be watching, rejoicing, and celebrating their victories as my own.
About From Our Community: Voices of Parents & Educators
Every handwritten note pinned to my cabinet and every message I receive is a reminder of why I do this. These aren't just reviews; they are reflections from parents and educators about the genuine shifts they have seen in children—moving from math anxiety to what I call math agility, where the fear of making a mistake turns into the curiosity to solve a problem.
Why I Value This Feedback
I believe that teaching is fundamentally a human relationship. When a parent shares how their child finally feels confident with numbers, or when a fellow educator tells me a workshop sparked a new idea in their classroom, it confirms that we are doing something right.
My approach at Hattennoki—rooted in the Science of Reading, Math from Scratch, and social-emotional learning—only works because of the trust my community places in me.
What People Often Share
- Math Agility: Parents frequently mention that their children stop dreading math sessions. We replace rote memorization with games like Yonjuu and tactile tools that make abstract concepts feel solid and understandable.
- Conceptual Depth: Educators appreciate that I don't just teach for the exam. We dig into the 'why' behind the calculation, which helps students in IGCSE or IBDP curricula build a foundation that lasts.
- Confidence Building: The most common feedback isn't about grades; it is about how a child handles frustration. Learning to regulate emotions and persist through a tough problem is a life skill, not just an academic one.
Whether it is a quick update via WhatsApp or a heartfelt letter from a teacher I have trained, these moments are the foundation of Hattennoki. I am constantly learning from every child and adult I work with, and I carry these stories with me as I design new games, workshops, and learning kits.
