Owen Brooks

Retired agriculture teacher from Lakeview Secondary School

🇺🇸 San Jose, California, United States
2001 to 2019
English

I came to teaching late, after working as a bank clerk, and 18 years later I still can't imagine doing anything else. Over the years I had 500 students pass through my room. A few of them became teachers themselves, which still makes me smile. Hearing from old faces is the best part of my week.

More about Owen

The students I remember best weren't always the top of the class. They were the ones who asked "why?" when nobody else did.

Subjects taught

Agriculture Spanish

What gifts mean to Owen: Any gift will help me keep tutoring for free.
