About Professor Jim Bucket

Ever a teacher, with my trusty (if tiny) white board…

An American teacher helps you explore literature, art, religion, geography, folk and fairy tales, science, music, history, philosophy and even pop culture--the things everybody ought to know!

Some posts on "Let's Learn Something" to serve as notes to the videos found on my social media sites:

And don't miss my main website: https://www.jimbucket.com/ with a guide to the posts here on Substack.


How dare I try to teach about all this stuff? A little bit about myself:

  • I have been in classrooms all my life--(and I'm 108 years old!)--first as a student and then as a teacher.

  • I have studied English, philosophy, math and science, and religion (both Christianity and Buddhism), and I have a Masters Degree in Education. (That’s why I wear an academic hood in my videos!)

  • I have taught mostly English, but also biology, photography, history and government, and I've tutored middle school math and Spanish. I've been an elementary school principal and a headmaster; a junior high and high school teacher, and a college professor (in China!). I've even taught adults, including business people and Buddhist monks! And nuns!

  • I'm from America, but since 1997 I've lived mainly in Asia: Japan (5 years), China (11 years), and now the Philippines (since 2015).

What else can I do for you? If you're an English Language Learner (ELL), I'll help you build your vocabulary, improve your writing skills, discover some cool stuff, and increase your understanding of yourself and the universe!

Sound exciting? YOU BET! So come along with me!
