Thank You for Teenagers

There is something so rewarding as a private teacher that many people will never experience and is this: Meeting a child for the first time, getting to know them and creating a great friendship with them along the way. One of the differences in private teaching is that I only meet people who have a great goal to achieve and they are asking me to help them achieve it. What an honor that is for me! Especially in this day in age...
There are so many things that a child goes through--much more that I did when I was growing up. Being a counselor in Los Angeles high schools and being an after-school tutor at local high schools has helped me see that. These kids are facing a tougher world and I love them for it. They work so hard and I see a difference when teaching them. With that being said, I wanted to say "Thank You" to those teenagers and kids out there who are sticking to their morals and standards and everything that they know to be right. Whether they are in track, football, a chess club or music, they are active in what they love and being as great as they can in it. In today's world, that hard work and focus is so admirable and I am grateful to be a part of their lives. Thank you.
