“I made a stupid mistake dropping out…I realize you cannot have benefits for your kids, and you pretty much cannot do anything without a high school diploma”

“I have a student who completed his 14th hour of tutoring. [At first], (student) was easily distracted and rarely stayed focused for more than one or two minutes. I have noticed a gradual increase in his ability to read a text completely or work a page of math problems without stopping to “daydream.”
Last week his increased focus was remarkable. After we discussed the concept of the lesson, he worked through the lesson completely on his own while I worked with another student. [student] willingly listens and responds to the introductory part of the lesson, then begins working without complaint.”
– Carol Matthews, Tutor
