Information should be manageable and engaging and assignments should fuel a...

...capable of putting together a great novel, a smart essay, a concise speech, or a well-written screenplay. These days, many students see writing as a burden -- a long paper over the holiday break or busy work they can skirt. With writing, there is not always a correct answer (sometimes there is, like with "there," "their," and "they're," but we will get to that later), and for some that can be scary, but for me,...

...the student learns and teaching from that point. No student is the same, and it’s not right to assume all students learn in the same way. That’s why I love tutoring – it allows me to get to know someone and help him or her learn in a way that works. When I was in school, I felt very frustrated because I couldn’t grasp certain concepts. It wasn’t until I realized that I was a...
