Hobbies
My motto is "Learning should not be hard... we do it EVERY DAY!" About me: I HATED math. I loved science and social studies. Art came naturally and I felt comfortable retreating into a world of reading and writing. But math... I AVOIDED IT AT ALL COSTS. For YEARS. For me, earning a 70 in math was like winning a race. The truth is, most of what you need to know, you ALREADY know it! Set your goals, see your growth, and reach your potential. Someone showed me, let me show you. My students are quite amazed by the fact that when I teach in one subject area, they also excel in others. That's like tutoring 2 for 1!
