Cindy Bernstein
Geometry
Math Department Chair
Hi! My name is Cindy Bernstein and I am so happy to be returning to the New West Charter team for the 2023/2024 school year. This is my sixth year at New West and my tenth year as a math teacher!
I grew up in New York, not far from New York City. I received my undergraduate degree in Mathematics, and my Masters degree in Curriculum Development, both from the State University of New York at Albany. I’ve had quite a few interesting and exciting years of experience in the business world, but I chose to return to my passion, which is being in the classroom with my students.
I moved from New York to Los Angeles over 20 years ago with my husband who is also a New Yorker. We have a daughter who is returning to the east coast for her Senior year of college. When I’m not in the classroom, I enjoy spending time with my husband and daughter, taking yoga and spin classes, hiking, and playing in the kitchen.
This year I will be teaching Geometry. My goal is to help each of my students to be confident and successful and to have some fun with Math. I am looking forward to getting to know my students and having a great year together!
