It doesn't have to be difficult
Have you ever been told you are a "right brain" thinker, so math and science are just going to be difficult for you? Have you been told you are a technical person, so English and art just aren't your thing? I believe that's a bunch of hoo-ha.

Who knows? Maybe we can even find one of those moving wa... Read more

I love that "light bulb moment†when a student understands a new concept, feels more confident and recognizes that goals are in reach. That’s what has kept me tutoring for over 20 years, and it’s the experience I strive to create for my students! I was a National Merit Finalist in high school. Seven years later, I had my own “light bulb moment†after a Princeton Review prep course. After brushing off my rusty math and formal logic skills, my GRE scores rose to the 99th percentile. In...
