People are praised for their talent and intelligence, but rarely is the opportunity to learn mentioned when people reach success. I'm thankful for the opportunities my education has brought me, and that's why I love to tutor! I hope to clarify the topics that are fuzzy and to create plans that will bring students a step farther in their study habits. ~Ellie
