Apologies and Thanks!

I have neglected this blog and I do apologize. My teaching life has been crazy busy, and I LOVE it!

I am currently tutoring a first grader, 2 third graders, a 6th grader, an 8th grader, a high school senior who will take the ACT for the 3rd time, and a junior who will take the SAT for the 2nd time. Does this sound like a wide variety of levels?

Well, I also tutor 5 adults. One adult is working to take the GED, 3 are business people who wish to improve their communication skills for their jobs. Two have college degrees. One student is working on his Ph.D. We proof and line edit his projects.

Of course they pay me, a very good thing.

The thanks are coming. A parent sent me this email and I must share it with you. Names will be withheld, but I will say this dad was a skeptic at first.

I would like to say that I believe you have done an amazing job working with Eddie.

He still does not like school of course, but his improved English grades show he knows much more than he did and it’s amazing.

Perhaps you have given him “more” confidence!

I wish you taught Math, ha!

Thanks again for your “Great” work!


This kind of response makes me happy! Or I like to say "You can't beat that with a stick!"
