...have worked with several ESL students from different backgrounds and ages. Much like Spanish, sitting in class and learning phrases does not teach a lot.

...Dental Medicine. I took a gap year before starting dental school. During this time, I became a 7th-grade teacher; this experience shaped my understanding of the current educational needs in private and public institutions.

It is easy for students to fall behind, especially with the increasing...

...to live our lives fully.
