...others. So, while I did well in all subjects, history was and always had been my especial favorite (sadly, not too many students need extra tutoring in history, alas). Truman State's MAE program gave me the opportunity to translate that love of history to the classroom, giving me the teaching competencies to share it with students on a wide scale.

...community college. My students choose from the HSE or HiSet exam. I teach all four subjects needed to pass those exams. Four years of high school knowledge seems like an overwhelming amount to tackle.

The math is around 55% algebra so that might need some...
