Hi, I'm Erika Weller. I've been teaching with the Pearl School since 2010 and am very grateful for my job. I have a Bachelor's degree in Russian, an ESL minor and certificate, and a Master's in Teaching. I am certified to teach 4-12 English, History, and Russian. Prior to teaching in Pearl, I taught for 3 years at Quilcene High School (English, history, yearbook) and for a semester at Kingston Jr. High. Within Pearl, I have been lead teacher for most of my time. I have taught Zoom Spanish, and I am currently the Curriculum Specialist. I love trying new things, creating, and working with people.
My family and I live in Sequim, which is a wonderful place. My husband, Jim, teaches math at Quilcene High School, and has for 25 years. He is even teaching kids of students he taught initially (his "grand-students"). We have 2 boys and 3 girls, 3 of whom are in college. We have two daughters at home with us. I homeschooled one of my sons for 2 years, and am currently home-schooling my 8th grader for 2 periods a day.
Because Sequim doesn't get a lot of sunshine, I take a winter trip somewhere warm to keep my spirits up. I love exploring and traveling the world! It's one of my biggest passions. So far during the winter I've been to Puerto Vallarta, Cabo, the Dominican Republic, and this year Puerto Rico. I also love speaking to people in their own language if I can. I can speak Russian and Spanish, and have a small knowledge of Italian and German, so I get by. I am also big into exercise, healthy eating, and learning to cook healthily.
