关于我

I am 73 and spend 10 months each year teaching my math program (TV, Radio, newspaper cover stories) to kids in the former Soviet Union countries. (I speak Russian at an intermediate level but understand only at an advanced beginner level if spoken slowly.)

As a nearby-glacier resident of Alaska, I am a non-stop, avid climber, glacier hiker, multi-day wilderness adventurer and would be delighted to possibly meet adventurous folks with a similar passion. My purpose for volunteer teaching my math methods 10 months each year in Eastern Europe is in serving "at risk" kids -- especially very poor children, especially Roma children. I must say that I am very allergic to smoke and cats.

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

I give away most of my money and am already on a very tight budget. I move to a different country every 2-3 months (rotating through: Romania, Slovakia, Hungary, Moldova, Bulgaria and Ukraine - (Cluj and Kharkiv my new bases of operations in Eastern Europe). I am eager to expand my serving the "poorest of the poor" children of Eastern Europe.

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

Invented the 1-hr. Times Table System (now language independent and applicable immediately globally -- wanting to create an app) for school children 32 yrs ago in the U.S.. As a result, I have repeatedly appeared on U.S. TV, Radio and in cover stories in the newspaper, given free auditorium shows across 4 states but the U.S. "public instruction industrial complex" is so jealous of my abilities that they have (for 32 yrs) refused to allow me to both FREELY show them the method as well as FREELY pilot my method in ANY of the 100 largest school districts in "bottom of the bucket" 40th-math ranked U.S. (home to Harvard, Stanford and M.I.T. but "bottom of the bucket" service to America's kids) so for the rest of my life I am PERMANENTLY serving strictly NON-U.S. cultures -- since 2014, principally those of Eastern Europe. I have recently had requests for testimonials : www.timestabletricks.com/testimonials/
