I taught 10th grade English at Sumter High School until December 1975, when I began the rea... Read more

Logan
Math and Science
The "Aha!" moment is one of the best parts of the learning process. I love helping a student move from utter bewilderment to mild confusion to complete understanding in their subject. There are few more fulfilling ways to spend time. I have over a year of experience tutoring university athletes in various math subjects, chemistry, physics, Spanish, economics, and accounting. During that period of time, I also facilitated math lab hours, teaching math to multiple students at the same time. ... Read more
