Tom Rogers

ACADEMIC INSTRUCTOR (MATH)

Tom earned a Master’s Degree in Education Leadership and his Principal Certification from Villanova University after receiving his BA from the University of Scranton in Secondary Education and Mathematics. He taught everything from pre-algebra to calculus at his alma mater, Methacton High School, from 2003 to 2012 and at Radnor High School where he’s been since 2012.

Some people are just meant to be teachers, and I am one of them. I enjoy spending my days with teenagers and seeing their growth and maturation over the course of the year. Although the classroom has its particular energy, I find particular satisfaction in working one on one with students; the moment when the concept breaks through and I see the look of relief and pride on my student’s face is priceless. I chose math because I’m drawn to absolutes; I like knowing that there is a correct answer to the problem we are facing. I live outside of Philadelphia with my wife and three kids, all under six years old. When not teaching, I enjoy running and cheering for the Eagles.
