BOOMERANG! creator teaches writing

My father was a renowned writer and when I was 9 I would follow him out to his office and tap away at my own typewriter.

For the last 10 years I have been teaching both creative and expository writing. For reluctant writers it is all about inspiration. For serious young writers i provide a toolbox to create excellence. ... Read more

demystify math!

Since we're talking about simple, but elusive concepts based on the real world, I stress putting logical ideas together and understanding how to express the meaning of mathematics in accessible ways. Numbers, calculations, and variables are just some of tools we can utilize, and math is the canvas -- the language -- between the tools. About Me: -------------- National AP Scholar (2000), National Merit Scholar (2000) before attendi... Read more

Doug

Elementary and ESL teacher with experience in USA and China

Hello! I'm a trained elementary and ESL teacher with experience in middle school math and science. I come from a family of fourteen teachers, so it's the family business.

I tend to use an active style with students (rote repetition puts everyone to sleep,) and am always looking for new ways to help that one student master that one thing. In public schools, I have taught pre-K through seventh grade. As an ESL/EFL teache... Read more
