Any problem area in any subject can be broken into smaller and smaller pieces, until suddenly you realize there was never a problem to begin with.

...after school preparation classes for SAT). I have tutor Mathematics from basic level high school math to college trigonometry and science classes including biology, chemistry, and general science. My favorite classes are mathematics, especially the higher level math because it challenges me also.

Nearly anything that will get me outside, I'm certain to enjoy (rock climbing,...

This helped me to shape...

...grew up loving books and reading, but learned more about writing when my dear son went to a charter school that used classical education curriculum. I came to see exactly why 'prep school' is preparation for college academics. Once a person really comes to understand how to write a thesis statement, they'll find there is no end to its usefulness! A big part of my educational philosophy was formed as we homeschooled through fifth grade...

...experience, rather than the Tutor being an all-knowing power who lectures on the information, the most beneficial environment for the student is one that feels like a conversation.
