  • Francis Olsem

    I have been working at Washington Technology Magnet School for seven years as a math teacher. I graduated from St. John's University in MN in 2011, and recieved my Master's of Education at Bethel University in 2015. 

    I teach my math classes through a team-building approach with a focus on learning through socially relevant projects, gamification, and interactive self-paced learning. It is my goal to make mathematics relevant and fun, while empowering students to see value in their ability to be analytical thinkers.

    I live in St. Paul near Hamline University. I love spending time at the restaraunts and shops in my neighborhood, and in my free time I like to be outside (playing tennis, beach volleyball, broomball, running), read for fun, and travel. I also am a property manager and enjoy doing projects on my houses.
