Mr. Jeff Bachman
ELA Teacher
Hello, my name is Jeff, and I am tremendously excited to be teaching the 7th graders of the Wang Middle School Community this year. I have been teaching for twelve years, the last five in Lowell, and before that in Boston and Hanoi, Vietnam. I strongly believe in using the superpowers of love, kindness, and respect to transform ourselves and the world, and I strive to share these superpowers with my community everyday. I am a regular practitioner of meditation and mindfulness, an eater of delicious foods from anywhere and everywhere in the world, and an obsessive runner. I also love traveling, hiking up mountains, reading all the greatest books, and spending time with my amazing wife and our two cats, George and Zuzu.

Hi there! I am Mrs. Prieto-Nadeau, and I'm a dedicated middle school teacher with a deep commitment to creating a positive and inclusive classroom environment. My teaching philosophy centers on differentiated instruction, ensuring every student can thrive. I have been teaching math at various grade levels for the past 8 years, making complex concepts accessible and fun. I find that using real-world examples help students see the value in mathematics. I have a B.S. in Elementary Education and a M.A. in Policy Education. When I am not working, you can see me on a disc-golf course, traveling, or hiking with my husband!
