The students with whom I have worked in the past have improved their academic performance. I...

...to be better. I wanted to prove myself; to show my professor that I could, in fact, write. The rest of the story is rather anti-climatic. There was no inspired epiphany, when all the lights suddenly go on. It was more like turning the lights on in an empty gym, when the lights go on one by one and it takes a while for them to get bright. The lights so slowly get brighter and...

When I'm not trying to help someone learn, I enjoy spending time with my son reading,...
