When I was in 8th grade, I was struggling with pre-algebra (I couldn't seem to wrap my head around distance/rate/time problems). I found myself loathing a class I had once loved. I started working with a tutor and going from barely getting by to being successful in that class was a very fulfilling feeling that I hope to continue to pass on to others.... The best teachers are always trying to learn as well.... Get to...

...stream of information. I will be asking you a lot of questions along the way. The two most lessons that I teach to my students: 1. tolerance of uncertainty; and 2. confidence in your own self-efficacy. Everyone can attain mastery. I never doubt.
