About Me

My name is Oskar Cymerman. I am a husband, a father, and an educator.

I love teaching. I have been teaching science, engineering, and learning to learn courses in public middle schools and high schools in Illinois and Minnesota for the past 23 years.

Through my website, I hope to show teachers how to reinvent their craft and help students learn more effectively.

I share tools, lessons, and methods via my blog. I give a lot of stuff away for free.

I also write books, create online courses, and sell other products that help teachers save time on planning and focus on teaching.

No Pressure, Just Good Vibes

Everyone’s story and situation is unique so please use whatever resources you find useful and do not feel obligated to buy anything from me.

Sometimes, I’m like my students…. The ultimate procrastinator Distracted smartphone manipulator Too cool for school operator
