...writing, opening creative vistas to their future potential. Writing is the basis for all education: it develops critical thinking skills, encourages "big picture" thinking, and preps students for life in "the real world." Every student has something to offer through their inherent abilities to tell stories. My job is to help a student to be their best self, using writing as that conduit to better self-understanding and self-awareness. I have strong experience working with ADHD...

In history lies the importance of why things are because of us humans....

...lessons to fit each student. Moreover, as long as the student really does want to master the material, even lofty goals are reachable given enough time and a breakdown of the material into small pieces.

And if the student doesn’t truly want to learn the material, then it’s important to ask why that is, and how to change that mindset—because as “useless”...
