Rate My Teachers Announces 2021 Teacher of the Year Awards

Baltimore, MD, February 01, 2022 --(PR.com)-- Rate My Teachers (RMT) is pleased to announce the second annual Teacher of the Year Awards. During a challenging time these educators distinguished themselves with their creativity and commitment, earning the praise and gratitude of their students.

RMT is the Internet’s longest running rating site for K-12 and college teachers and courses. Its purpose is to help answer a single question: “what do I as a student need to know to maximize my chance of success in a given class?” Students have created more than 11 million reviews in the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, Ireland, New Zealand, and Australia.

This year, a total of forty-one teachers have been honored in four countries. Kevin Hollins, CEO of Rate My Teachers said, “We are thrilled to announce the winners of the second annual RMT Teacher of the Year Awards.
