DEMIAO CLASS - About me

Rio Del Rosario Demiao, MAT, PhD

Meet Dr. Demiao

Hey bulldogs! I’m Dr. Demiao, and I’m super excited to be your Math teacher this year. I’m originally from the Philippines, and this is my 6th year teaching Middle Mathematics in the USA. I’ve been teaching for 18 years in total, both in the Philippines and here in the U.S. I can’t wait to get to know all of you and make math fun together!

Educational Background

I earned my bachelor’s degree in High School Education with a major in Language and Literature and a minor in Mathematics. I then completed my Master of Arts in Teaching which deepened my knowledge and passion for my profession. To further my career, i pursued and earned my doctorate degree in Philosophy in Education, all from the Philippines.

I am certified middle math and high school language arts teacher.

My Philosophy of Teaching

I believe math is more than numbers—it’s a way to think, solve problems, and make sense of the world. In my class, students will explore math in fun, real-life ways while building confidence and skills. I encourage questions, mistakes, and teamwork because they are all part of learning. My goal is for every student to leave my class believing, “I can do math!”

Outside Teaching

Outside the classroom, I enjoy traveling to different interesting places and exploring new cultures. I love staying active by playing badminton and volleyball, as well as spending time outdoors through hiking and trekking. On relaxing days, I enjoy watching movies, hanging out with friends, and cooking my favorite Filipino dishes to share with others. These hobbies keep me balanced, energized, and always learning something new.
