Meet Our Math Teacher - Karen Timson
At Nimbus Christian Education we are so grateful for the incredibly talented and godly educators that enhance our team. Our teachers come from all walks of life and have a myriad of experience. Above all else, each of our team members loves God and remains dedicated to helping students achieve their academic goals.
As Nimbus continues to grow, we’re excited about periodically highlighting our amazing team members. Today we are pleased to introduce one of our extraordinary senior math teachers, Karen Timson!
Karen has worked for the York Region District School Board (YRDSB) throughout her teaching career in a variety of roles. In addition to teaching math, Karen has held leadership and consulting roles in the mathematics department. She has her Masters of Education in Curriculum and has taught Additional Qualifications Courses for teachers at Ontario Institute for Studies in Education (OISE) both in-person and online.
Karen joined Nimbus in July 2020 and enjoys the guided independence of online learning. In particular, she embraces the regular connection she has with her students through video conferencing and email. She believes that online learning offers valid options for students that they may not have at their bricks-and-mortar school or in their living situation. Karen recommends that students keep to the schedule and connect with their teacher regularly to be successful. As questions arise, Karen suggests that students should make a note of any questions they have and take them up with their teacher to help them stay on track. Karen encourages students to take advantage of the regular teacher connection feature which is what sets Nimbus apart from other strictly independent online courses.
