A lot of the kids I tutored were behind in their grade because the schools were underfunded, and the children did not get the attention and time they deserved in order to thrive academically. One of my tutees, Jorge, was a 5th grader who would throw tantrums or give me the silent treatment nearly every session. However, I remained patient and was extremely consistent with my...

The purpose of this is to inspire you to learn even outside of our lessons by connecting what we learn to your own life and philosophy.
