I taught my first class back in the days of the Gerald Ford administration. I taught for 10 years before going into the law. I practiced law for 13 years but my real passion is teaching. I returned to teaching and have spent the last 23 years teaching Latin on the secondary level. I can't imagine that any other career would provide as much passion and satisfaction.
I have learned that the brightest and most capable students sometimes come across a concept that they cannot master. This is where an extra help session with a teacher or a tutor becomes necessary.

When a person feels sick, s/he sees a doctor. The patient tells the doctor what symptoms s/he is experiencing. The doctor will then be able to diagnose the condition and devise a treatment plan. Are you sick of the grades that you're getting? Show me recent assessments on which you have not performed as well as you wanted to. The mistakes you make on an assessment are basically symptoms of a problem. I can diagnose the problem and devise a treatment plan for you.
