There is nothing better than seeing the world open up to children as they gain confidence by mastering a particular skill and develop the inner motivation needed to continue to the path to higher learning. Sometimes children need a helping hand to develop a baseline of knowledge necessary to become successful at school. All children can learn. I believe in meeting them at... Read more
