A Human Being Teaching Human Beings

Beth Feret is one of those teachers that you never forget, the kind of teacher you think about years after experiencing them, and tell your kids about. I took Beth’s class when really, it was out of my league. However, with her help and encouragement I passed. When I felt unintelligent, and like I was in the wrong place, she picked me back up and made me feel as though I belonged. I did not take enough advantage of having her as a mentor. She is really incredible, patient, kind, and funny. I always looked forward to her class or our one on one sessions. I cannot recommend her as a tutor enough. If you have the opportunity to work with Beth, take it, you won’t regret it. She changes lives. She changed mine.

I was lucky enough to have Beth Feret as my teacher twice. Freshman and Senior year of high school. She is the kind of teacher to make you feel safe and heard. She taught me a new way of analyzing while reading. There are still discussions of short stories I think about from her class, 9 years later. She taught us to "fail with dignity." I cannot say enough good things about her as a teacher and a person. I truly could not have asked for a better teacher to start and end high school with.
