Learning issues are too often connected to assumptions about respective abilities; ordinary people assume that those with them have too many obstacles to succeed in life. Albeit, many biographies reflect those with problems in school as part of their history to be highly accomplished in the work world. Business people, scientists artist and of many other professions learned to make their learning problems assets to excelling well beyond their peers. Ironically, many of those who teased people for having learning issues were simply good at memorizing school curriculum; they often had far less ability than those subject to criticism. It is essential that biographies of accomplished people are studied by those with learning challenges and those helping them. My tutoring services help students free themselves from stereotypes.

It is about keeping your goals alive, in part, by not focusing too much on others’ great achievements. Tutoring in person or via online education can help students build their own academic and career dreams. Many need help with homework; they have math problems, writing assignments, science projects, or challenges in other subjects like history. Regardless, celebrities can be a distraction because people often vicariously live through their lives, rather than their own. Albeit, people who have achieved greatness can serve as role models; they just need to be analyzed as to their impact and put into perspective.

It is about ADHD. Readers learn about how ADHD can be a strength when addressed with the right tutor.
Tutoring Bridges Learning Gaps with Scholastic Strengths
Tutoring increases the odds of parents’ children being accepted at universities, and most importantly graduating from the schools. Too often homework, extra credit assignments, minimal math, science and writing requirements in high school leave aspiring college students unprepared for curriculum that is required at the college level. I find that those whom I tutor prefer to learn their assigned subject matter in a more comprehensive way, rather than through wrote memorization; in turn, they tend to form an ability to answer abstract questions that are tightly associated with university level of academic work.
Many of my students are misunderstood as simply ADHD, ADD, Dyslexic, Autistic, Executive Function Disorder, while they can often excel in school by being taught an individualized method or custom to their thinking way of learning curriculum.
