MAJOR TUTORING

It's been a while since I posted on this blog. I have been very busy tutoring though, both working for the Town of Vernon and doing private tutoring work. Some weeks I've actually tutored 34 hours, which is close to being full-time. I want to wish everyone a safe and happy holiday season! This is a busy time of the year and it can be stressful too.

If you know someone that is struggling in a particular subject, then I encourage you to contact me by leaving a comment on this blog. Thank you for reading this post and visiting my blog.

High school students can get a jump start on their college degrees by taking certain college classes during the summer or even as part of a high school /college credit program. Many colleges have two summer sessions so perhaps the answer is to sign up for a course in the second session before returning in the fall to regular cl
