Mrs. Cruz
Hello and Mabuhay! I’m Mrs. Cruz from the country with beautiful beaches and islands.
I earned my Bachelor of Secondary Education Major in Mathematics from City of Malabon University and my master’s degree at Philippine Normal University and Arellano University in the Philippines. I’ve been teaching for 23 years and have a strong passion in helping students succeed while nurturing their curiosity. As an educator , I am dedicated to foster critical thinking and growth mindset to every student. When not teaching, I enjoy watching K-dramas as my way of spending quality bonding time with my children ,which I am also doing as my relaxation time here in Illinois aside from walking in the beautiful, breathtaking and relaxing view of Lake Michigan. My goal teaching is to create a supportive, engaging environment and to always seek for new ways to bring creativity , collaboration, intervention and innovation in the classroom.
