Memphis Teacher & Mentor ‘Literally Changed My Life,’ Student Says


Memphis, TN — Great teachers matter. In Memphis, we’re fortunate to have teachers like Alex Beene.

Patch has partnered with T-Mobile to recognize teachers and show them how much they’re valued and appreciated.

This submission comes from Mary Mayden who nominated Alex Beene of Memphis.

How do you know the teacher?

Student.

What does this person teach?

Math, Journalism

Why do you believe the teacher should be recognized or honored?

Mr. Beene literally changed my life. He takes time to help students with everything, from ACT to college applications. I know he has been a mentor to me long after I left his class. He’s had the same impact on other students over the years. He devotes the time to make us know he cares about our future after we graduate.

What’s one thing you want everyone to know about the teacher?

He is an incredible human being and the most generous teacher I’ve ever known with time, advice and care.
