"My child genuinely loves Ms. Hilton's [Biology] class. He tells me all the time how much he enjoys the lessons, and I know her kindness and teaching style make a huge difference for him. He says that whenever someone asks a question, she entertains it wholeheartedly and shows real interest. It’s amazing how those little things create such a wonderful learning environment.
He truly appreciates Ms. Hilton, and so do we! A great teacher focuses on the small details and makes each student feel capable and confident, and Ms. Hilton does exactly that. She is patient, encouraging, and always willing to help. When a child feels that he can still catch up on missed assignments because his teacher is supportive, that’s the true goal of education.
As a homeschooling family, if we only cared about straight A’s, we wouldn’t have enrolled our student in an online class. We deeply appreciate how uplifting and motivating Ms. Hilton is, and we would absolutely join any future classes with her.
I can honestly see my student remembering Ms. Hilton later on in life, because teachers like her leave a real impact. We’re truly grateful for the encouragement and influence she’s had on him. Thank you for all that you do!"
"Hi, Mrs. Hilton! Thank you so much for the past year. I really appreciate the time and effort you put into teaching this class [General Biology]. Because of you, I have learned and grown a lot this year."
"This class [Honors Biology] orbits in the goldilocks zone---in this analogy the sun must be information---it is not stressful or oversaturated, and it does not only scratch the facile surface of biology; it is just right. The live classes were fun and engaging without sacrificing educational impact, there was an as-advertised amount of work, and I had a great time."
"Honors Biology was an amazing course and I feel like I learned a lot. Ms. Bekah is a really great teacher and always explains things in a way that students can understand. The material is interesting and interactive and the labs are always great fun. Overall, it was an incredible experience and I enjoyed it a lot. I can't wait to take AP Bio with Ms. Bekah two years from now. Thank you so much Ms. B!"
"Hi Mrs. Hilton, I want to thank you for such a great school year. I love learning about new things, especially about the human body, but learning about all these extinct animals was really cool, and something that really fascinated me was that jelly fish have been living in this world longer than most organisms. But without this course [General Biology], I would not have the knowledge that I have now, and I want to thank you for everything that you have done!"
"This class [General Biology] gave me a great understanding of biology! I particularly think the labs were helpful because they made me think deeper and make connections about the material in the textbook. I also really enjoyed creating threads and responding to others in the forum each week. I learned so much from my classmates there; I think it's a great aspect of the class. Finally, the dissections were AWESOME!! My sister took honors bio last year, and she would let me watch and occasionally help with her dissection. It was just as enjoyable the second time around. Later in high school I am considering taking an AP bio class because I love this topic, and I feel like this gives me a solid base to expand from. Thank you for a great year Ms. Bekah!"
"I absolutely loved this class [General Biology] and I thought the material was explained and taught in a very clear and interactive way, making the class incredibly fun as well as educational! Even if you do not like biology or at least don't think you do, Mrs. Hilton makes it incredibly interesting and engaging. The textbook also includes picture, diagrams and highlights the key words which helps facilitate the student's learning. Basically, this class was wonderful and I definitely recommend it to anyone who is interested in learning about the world around us and who doesn't want a super intense course."
"I loved this class [General Biology] because everyone was so friendly in the class. This was the first class where I felt that I was actually in a classroom. All my other classes weren't interactive and it was boring. Mrs. Hilton is the best teacher I've had in my freshman year. Throughout my High School career I hope to have more teachers like her. This class was challenging, but I learned so much. I struggled a little in the beginning of the class, but I didn't give up. I am glad I stayed in this class because I wouldn't have made so many friends and I wouldn't have learned so much."
