國中部

林鴻昌老師

大家好，我是國中部新進教師，林鴻昌，很高興能加入實驗中學這個大家庭。本人畢業於師大地理系，來到實中之前，曾任教於國立新竹高中及新竹縣二重國中。

教書，尤其教地理，除了是我熱愛的工作外，也是我最大的興趣所在。由於生長在農業家庭的關係，讓我非常喜愛接近大自然，也非常喜歡旅行，大學時期寒暑假，曾擔任過國家公園解說員。另外，我很珍惜和學生相處的時光，常陪學生讓我的生活更有精神、更有活力，所以我希望能盡快融入實中這個大家庭，也希望日後實中的成員能不吝給本人指教。

施燕萍老師

嗨，大家好，很高興有這個機會讓我介紹自己。我是國中部新進老師，施燕萍，師大國文系畢業，任教國文並擔任國一五班導師。能夠加入實中這個家庭，至今對我而言仍有如作夢一般，今年實習完便能考進這所大有聲望的學校，心中除了無比開心以外就是感恩；我相信，教育是人與人生命中一場美麗的交會，曾經沐浴在師道的芬芳中，我感謝這一路走來的種種，且希望將曾受過的照顧回饋到學生身上，使其也能感受到教育的滋潤與甜美，故我定會用心於教學並力求精進，因此初踏進實中，資歷尚淺的我，在此想要勞煩各位前輩若有任何建議時，都能夠不吝指導。

最後，我想說：在這裡教學，常常感受到老師們的親切關懷，學生們的天真可愛，教育環境的優質享受，能夠加入這個家庭，真的很讓人喜悅呢！

施以力老師

Howdy! 我是今年新進的國中部英文老師，施以力。最喜歡的，是每天早晨踏進校園的那一瞬間，聽見天真無邪的孩子們微笑著大喊「老師早」的感動。最近發現，進入這個學校後，生活中再也沒有任何埋怨。原來，這是因為我已經得到生命中最值得期待的--給予我的孩子們學習的動力，傳遞知識，並與最好的校長、主任、老師前輩們一同共事學習！

畢業於哥倫比亞大學英語教學研究所。教學，音樂和戲劇，紙和筆，文字與創作，是生命中不可缺乏的事物。喜歡寫作，熱愛戲劇，相信即席的演出往往能帶來無限的歡愉，拉近彼此的距離，也為教學增添一份新意！

And music is how I make sense of this amiable world.

Thank you for giving me this chance to be with you, to learn from you, and to dedicate myself to this lovely school.

國小部

大家好，我是國小部新進教師黃于芳，畢業於國立台北教育大學數學暨資訊教育學系，很開心也很榮幸今年有機會能加入實驗中學的大家庭，與大家共同經歷多采多姿的每一天。

因為本身對於電腦軟體資訊應用以及數學遊戲教材有濃厚的興趣，所以希望能將所長所愛帶到實驗中學，藉此除了讓學生能從中感染學習受惠外，也期許自己能在此繼續不斷磨練增進自己的能力，精益求精，好面對未來更多元的教育環境；除此之外，我對桌球以及直排輪也很有興趣，大學時期曾利用課餘時間參加學校的桌球隊，也曾擔任過系上桌球隊的隊長，而直排輪一直是我從小到大最喜歡的休閒運動，希望日後有機會的話，能與有相同興趣的大朋友小朋友們互相切磋！

我想，能夠有幸踏入實驗中學的大家庭，並在這裡貢獻自己的一份心力，真是料想不到，對我來說是人生中一個美麗的意外。因此，我一定會盡我所能，持續秉持著對教育的熱誠，繼續讓這個意外在我以及學生的生命中都能寫下璀璨的一頁。

詹前堂老師

親愛的實中成員們大家好，我是國小部新進教師-詹前堂，今年擔任五年七班導師。本人畢業於台南師範學院國民教育研究所，主修心理輔導，曾在本市南隘與東門國小服務，能參與實驗中學的成長，個人既興奮又倍感榮幸，萬分感謝學校先進們的提攜。

我深信「一位教師無法將自己沒有的東西教給學生。」所以，我樂意不斷的學習、反省與持續改進。當然，本人還有許多待精進之處，尚需勞煩各位教育先進們費心指導。感謝學校提供這個園地，讓我們在此「相遇」，未來的日子，期望和您多學習、多交流！

雙語部

周慧蓮老師

大家好，我是雙語部的數學科新進教師-周慧蓮•新竹，佔了我生命中很重要的一部分，我在新竹渡過了七年的求學生涯-清大數學系、清大科法所•早年在新竹唸書的時候就一直耳聞實驗中學是一所很棒的學校，離開新竹後在台北工作了三年，沒想到今年很幸運地回到闊別已久的新竹，也考進了實驗中學的正式老師•

三年不見的新竹，開了新路、多了高樓以及綠地公園，對我而言是一種全新的感受•就如同實驗中學雙語部的孩子，不同的思考邏輯、異於普通學校的教育方式，帶給我不同的思考，很高興有機會接受這個挑戰•

葉閔傑老師

哈囉！各位實驗中學的大小朋友們，我是今年雙語部的新進老師，葉閔傑。我畢業於台南師範學院體育學系，在今年一月結束報效國家的義務後，很高興能有機會加入實驗中學這個大家庭。

目前我擔任雙語部五、六年級的體育老師，並且接下生輔組長的工作。相信今年對我來說會是個刺激且充滿挑戰的一年。雙語部是個充滿西方文化的學習環境，恰巧我的高中學業也剛好是在澳洲完成的，相信有這樣的經驗能幫助我更快地融入這個環境。另外，身為體育老師的我愛好各類的體育活動，放學後如果看到有個新面孔出現在各個球場，那就是我了。請大家多多指教！

羅思穎老師

林燕靖老師

嗨!我是雙語部新進的高中生物教師燕靖，我擔任高中師生物教師快十年了，今年自台北市立中正高中轉任至實驗高中雙語部。對於生物教育工作，我常自擬為花叢中的小精靈，帶著孩子們一起探索生命的奧妙與驚奇，來到新環境總有新手上路的恐懼，希望各位先進，不吝指教，也歡迎大家有空來我的部落格聊聊!

Ms. Tammy Nimmer

Hello to the wonderful staff, students and parents of NEHS. Most of you know me already because I started teaching 2A in the middle of last year. I am excited about having the opportunity to be teaching my first full-year here. Prior to working at NEHS I worked at a private kindergarten, also in Hsinchu. Last year was an eventful and fun first year of living in Taiwan. I love this island's beauty and friendly people and am looking forward to experiencing more of Taiwan wonders during the next few years. I especially enjoy riding my bicycle around the mountains, hiking and swimming. I also play on an all-girl rugby and Gaelic football team. When I am not busy playing sports, I enjoy the company of my dog, Ole. Thank you to all the outgoing parents who helped to make my first year at NEHS a success.

Ms. Linden Cross - Hello to NEHS

I'm so pleased to be teaching at NEHS. My colleague Paul Guenther had told me I would learn to love teaching again if I came here, and that is exactly what has happened since I arrived in Hsinchu last February. Here I've found bright, committed students with delightful personalities and a wide range of interests, and parents who are deeply involved in the education of their children. In education, it doesn't get much better than that!

My background reveals that I must have a drop or two of Gypsy blood. I grew up on the Mexican border in Yuma, Arizona, and over the years I've lived in the states of New Mexico, Nevada, California, Minnesota, Iowa, Louisiana (briefly), and Arkansas. Outside the U.S., I've lived in London, in the Bahamas, and now in Taiwan.

I earned my bachelor's degree at ASU in Arizona and took my master's degree in English at UCA in Arkansas. In the field of education, my two most interesting teaching experiences have been here at NEHS and in Elfrida, Arizona, where I taught in a medium-security boys' prison. Let me quickly add that these two teaching experiences can best be described as polar opposites. When people ask why I chose to teach in a boys' prison, I always say, "It seemed like a good idea at the time." Which it did.

Ms. Cary Yang

I am so excited to be here at NEHS. I am from the United States. I grew up in the state of Minnesota. I taught Kindergarten (5-year-olds) and First Grade in a city called Saint Paul, the capital of Minnesota. It is wonderful to come back to live in the country that my family has shared so many memories with me about and now I get to make my own. I have loved the fruits, noodles, and access to all the wonderful foods that Taiwan has to offer. My family is very jealous. So if you have a favorite food you want to share come find me I would be interested to know. Let's have a great year!

Mr. Jonathan Berry

Hello! I am the third grade Humanities teacher and this is my first teaching experience in the continent of Asia... I am loving it! I was born in Minneapolis, Minnesota USA. The Minneapolis Public Schools is also where I had experience teaching elementary and middle school students. I believe that living and teaching in Taiwan will help me grow as an educator as well as a person. I love to ride my bicycle and it is even better to ride with a group of others, so if you like to ride bikes let me know... I would love to go for a ride!

Miss Tessa Wright

Hi everyone! I am the new English teacher for Grade 11 and 12 Regular. I have a great group of kids to work with this year and a wonderful group of coworkers and parents. I just bought a new bike and I have been cruising around the streets of Hsinchu. I've yet to find some good mountain biking trails... (if you know of any, tell me where!) Travelling is a hobby of mine; most recently, I took the trans-Siberian railway across Russia after teaching in Korea for two school terms. I am from a very cold part of Canada (smack-dab in the middle of the prairies) where everyone wears toques and mitts. I hope everyone has a successful year here at NEHS!

Mr. Karel Van Blijenburgh

The National Experimental High School ... "Hmmm, what are they experimenting on?" I thought as I sat down for my interview. I found out later that the 'experiment' was combining two great cultures in an educational environment, what a great idea! It's my pleasure and honor to be a part of this wonderful 'experiment'.

I come from the lovely city of Vancouver, Cananda. A land of snow-capped peaks and rugged Pacific shores. This is my fifth year as an educator -- I've taught in South Korea, New Zealand and Canada. My passions are education and travel; being the new college advisor on campus allows me to combine those two interests. I am committed to supporting the graduates of NEHS during their difficult and exciting transition to post secondary education. Also, my experience in adapting to new cultures is an invaluable asset for giving advice to students seeking higher education overseas. I pledge to work diligently and look forward to being a productive member of the NEHS team.
