...by which a person can improve themselves, and in so doing, their world. While improving grades and scores is important, I am also a firm believer in the necessity of true learning and understanding: not in the memorize-then-forget method commonly found in school systems today, but in a fundamental understanding of concepts and their underlying elements in order to provide a useful skill-set that can be applied beyond one test or class....
