Bio
Zachary Eaton
James and I worked together for two years (2014-2016) at Chengdu Foreign Languages School. During those two years, James deeply impressed me in his ability to integrate English learning strategies in AP Calculus courses. As the AP Human Geography and Pre-AP English teacher his methods greatly helped our students linguistic development. With regards to mathematical education, James is a brilliant teacher who deeply understands the theory, practice, and development of his field. We frequently discussed our pedagogy and methodology and our students greatly benefitted from this collaboration. I highly recommend James Drake to any mathematics or administrative position and I miss working with him.
