“Thaddeus teaches science in interesting and
engaging ways. His hands-on activities
give children an understanding of complex principles. He also provides an atmosphere where kids can
learn to work together to solve problems.”
- Jo Simonian, Homeschooling Parent, Seattle
“His integrative teaching style invited each child to participate on a
level that was comfortable to them and their unique learning style.
- Sylvia Hales, Homeschooling
Parent, Seattle
“I was very impressed with Thaddeus’s ability to break the project up
into manageable units. He was
comepletely prepared to teach each unit and was able to carry each one out
successfully. I admired the calm and
quiet way he worked with the students.
He showed tremendous respect for the child’s individuality and
ideas. He made each student feel
successful, and every student learned a significant amount, i.e., how to handle
materials, how to put ideas into action, and how to work through a project from
beginning to end.
- Mary Lou Laprade, Teacher,
John Hay Elementary, Seattle
“I am an educator myself, and as such I was
very impressed with how Thaddeus conducted his classes and how he encouraged
students to utilize and develop their creative problem-solving skills.”
- Paulette Lack, Teacher, Director, Jefferson Community School
“I would recommend Mr. Jurczynski and his many
programs as a unique and remarkable science experience.”
- Natalie Carlson, Teacher, Maple
Valley Christian School
“Thaddeus
Jurczynski would be an asset to any educational program that wants to create a
solid foundation in science through creativity and innovation. He understands that not all children learn in
the same manner and draws upon his knowledge to make sure that each person is a
success, understands the principles involved, and has fun at the same time.”
- Barbara Morey, Educational
Consultant, Seattle
“Thaddeus
understands the arts process that children need. While the art the kids produced was stunning,
he did not lose sight of that quiet process of developing the skills needed to
produce the art. Creative imaging and
problem solving, elements of sculpting and painting, now belong to children who
were in his classes.”
- JR Terry, Jefferson Arts Center
Project Board
“Never have I seen someone in
your position produce so much, with such original ideas, and such
patience! Your stability and humor were
beyond crucial to both camps, and I hope to see you back again next year!”
- James Sutter, Camp
Manager, Power of Hope, Seattle

Rocket Workshop you recently conducted with Jefferson County Public Works

fun, yet still convincing us of it’s significance. Thank you for a great team building
exercise.”
- Frank Gifford, Director, Jefferson
County Department of Public Works

hesitation that I recommend Thaddeus Jurczynski as a presenter.”
