Saul: East Orange Gifted tutor
Certified Gifted Tutor in East Orange, NJ

Li: East Orange Gifted tutor
Certified Gifted Tutor in East Orange, NJ
My philosophy in teaching is based on the fundamental principle that it's okay to not know-- we learn through our mistakes and I will be cheering you on, never punish you for learning.

Because my grandma served as a mentor who believed that 'I can do it', I remained confident and went from bottom of class...
