...among European languages; and of Japanese, Korean, and Chinese, among Asian languages. And, actually, tutoring for SAT Prep and helping people improve their grades in high school English is not so different from that. When I do that kind of tutoring, I emphasize features of the very complicated English verb system such as colloquial phrasal verbs and their more formal equivalents ("to go back"/"to return"). Of course, every student is different, and each teaching situation...

...teach anything from the basics of high school study strategies to advanced studies in upper level college courses. I have tutored throughout high school, college, and graduate school, with great success.

Only then will we see our children blossom into lifelong learners and productive citizens. I believe in the ability for all to learn and learning provides empowerment of the individual. If empowerment is not established and reinforced, even the most resilient student will be likely to fail to meet their potential and therefore fall into cycles of...
