Hi, I have been teaching Mandarin Chinese at Cleveland since 2010. I grew up in Taiwan, moved to Ohio, then moved to Seattle in 2008.

I graduated from Ohio State University with a PhD in education. I enjoy teaching and have always dreamt of becoming a teacher. I like spending my free time taking care of my plants, playing with my cats: Greggy and Charlie, and hanging out with my family.

I look forward to the upcoming year teaching my wonderful students.

Room 2002A: Available Tuesday 12–4 p.m.; Wednesday–Friday 8:30–4:00 p.m.

Room 2151: Supports students with transcripts, records, and enrollment needs.

Room 2002: Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays.

I have been teaching 10th grade Humanities at Cleveland for 8 years plus my student teaching. I also have really enjoyed coaching the fastpitch softball team. I feel really lucky to be a part of the Cleveland team. I'm sure I have learned more than I have taught during my time here.

I enjoy biking to work, backpacking, reading, and hanging out with my little family.

Biography

Hello! My name is Paige Wilson, formerly Wakamatsu. Some students call me Ms. Waka and others call me Ms. Wilson, either name works for me. I am in my 3rd year teaching math at Cleveland STEM High School, and my 12th year as an educator. This year, I am teaching Algebra 1 and Bridge to College Math. I was born in Seattle and grew up in Issaquah, where I live now with my partner, mom, step-dad, and two cats. I love working with students and families and welcome emails/text/calls if you have questions, need anything, or have feedback for me. I am looking forward to this year and am here to support in any way I can. Here's to a great year focusing on love, compassion, collaboration, and social justice.
