We sat in the devil's pool at Victoria Falls (I recommend looking up a photo). We also went on a safari and...

...essay, or reviewing grammar; public speaking; SAT prep; and study skills and organization, because each of these areas boosts overall academic success and builds a student's self-confidence.

I would be thrilled to bring that attitude to work with your student; I believe that good teaching means "working with" rather than "talking at," and that students thrive when they get a personal touch from a devoted tutee who can bring learning to life for them. If you give me the chance to be that teacher for your student, I promise you won't regret it.
