Because Senior Year Shouldn't Be Plural
Is your scholar having a hard time adjusting to remote schooling and you don't know how to help them succeed?
Do you feel like they're just not getting it no matter how much time you spend with them?
Does the new online format make it difficult to learn?
Are they distracted from their school work and need help focusing?
Are they getting good grades in all but one subject?
Do you think they just need a helping hand to pass the next exam?
Do they find a subject particularly boring and just need to change their attitude?
Do they have trouble getting the test scores they need to get into the college they want?

Vernon is incredibly patient, and a born teacher. His one on one help with my son was what brought my son to understand mathematic concepts that he was struggling with.
