Bio
The son of Greek immigrants, Homer Panteloglou was the first member of his family to go to college. At Hofstra, he developed a passion for both biology and teaching. Despite being discouraged from pursuing a teaching career because he is legally blind, Mr. Panteloglou has had incredible success in the classroom for the last 10 years.”Mr. P” is a master at creating an environment where students are free to ask questions, addressing obstacles that prevent learning, and patiently pushing unmotivated students.Students comment on his creativity in terms of reaching every student, while colleagues note his development of Honors and AP courses, and a popular tutoring program called “Bagels and Biology.”Out of 13 years of school, no teacher has done so much for me. I never thought an adult could care so much, and I wanted to perform well because of him,” commented a former student.”
