Wow! I am so glad I found this blog. I have been tutoring older students for months and they seem more dedicated than anyone I've seen. They may have a gap in their study skills or educational skills, but taking time to break their "stinking thinking" about their past school failures and encouraging their hard work brings them around to being the best in the class. I really enjoy their courage and strength to work hard while re-inventing themselves and being role models for the younger classmates.
