In High School I was a "shy" kid that rarely asked for help, but I did struggle on how to "study" for test. In college, I met people, professors, tutors who helped me learn the life skills of how to study and stay organized for exams, etc. I took those experiences and applied them to my teaching in schools. Through these experiences I gained valuable tools to succeeding and mastering the skill of studying. I want to share these valuable resources with any and all students in need of study skills. track & field I have 6 combined years of experience in track and field, as a track and field athlete, referee, volunteer,coach and teacher.
