You'll often need to get two separate tutors for the SAT....

...the powdery feel of chalk in my hands, but this time, I wasn't playing. I took my responsibilities very seriously and with great joy. As life took me to other school districts and different grade levels, time replaced chalk with dry erase markers and district-developed instructional goals with common core standards. However, my love of working with elementary-age children has never been superseded. In reflecting on those years, I bring these research-based practices to the...

...to strained resources. My method works because I apply a *much* higher standard than typical American school teaching. The USA is slipping out of education rankings and the average American speaks 0.8 languages; we're not even at 1 language, including English! I believe people are much smarter than what they're given credit for, whether they're kids, tweens, teens, or adults. I have lived my life with ADHD (and you bet I work with students with...
