SPRING HAS (ALMOST) SPRUNG!

In my first year of teaching, a colleague's favorite spring poem was, "Spring has sprung, grass has ris, wonder where the birdies is?" The poor grammar grated on me, but this little ditty was amusing.  I think of it every year when our Florida temperatures start reaching the 80s and, as tutors, we know that the end of school  isn't far behind.

Our students and their parents start thinking about grades, End-of-Course exams, FSA exams, next year's courses, graduation....  As tutors, we're concerned, too.  We know the phone will be ringing off the hook...people will sound desperate ("My daughter is struggling with writing..."  "My son is failing his math class...")  If we wait 'til our students have dug themselves into a hole, it becomes doubly hard to help them climb out and finish the year with a passing grade.

We're into the third quarter of the school year.  If your student is having a hard time, call us.  We can schedule one-on-one customized tutoring or arrange small-group tutoring in Math and English.  We offer packages and discounts.  Our website is full of information about us and our services.

OUT OF THE MOUTHS OF BABES... GAGA....

Lines from tutoring sessions:

Tutor:     "What happened on the back page of this test?"  (twice as many wrong as the front side)
Student:  "Incorrectmania!"

Tutor:      "This math is really hard!"
Student:   "I know -- they don't have any of my answers!"

We love our students!  If you want "mania" and "hard math" to go away -- GAGA...it's gone!
