Teacher’s Assistant Captain Jack

Greetings fellow students,

I am Captain Jack. The new lead Teacher’s Assistant for HotForWords. As you may already know Marina spends full time in working on her HotForWords show. She does this all by herself. It’s a big undertaking running the classroom of a million plus students, making new video lessons, answering questions, updating the website, etc. That is what I am here to do; to take on some of the drudgery work for her. In this way she will have more time finish other projects she has been wanting to work on to make the whole HotForWords learning experience better. She has many great ideas to explore that I think you’re going to like.

A little about me. I am a US Coast Guard Licensed Captain and Instructor. Like Marina, I too am a teacher. I teach students on what they need to know to pass the USCG licensing exam, so they can get their license to become ship Captains like me. You can learn more about me at my website: captainjack.ws

I do not have a Philology degree as Marina does. I am not an expert in Philology. I leave all that up to our dear teacher. I do some etymology as a hobby. Mostly I study origins of Nautical words. Those intrigue me the most.

For all you that are applying for a TA position. There is still need for more TAs. So go ahead and let us know you are interested.

Well I have to go to work now. Marina is asking, “Where’s my coffee I asked for?!!”
