"Being a retired military veteran of 23 years and having to go back to school at age 38, I feel that I have the drive and capacity to teach your child(ren) to become life-long learners. My core educational Philosophy is this: Children do not always remember what we have taught them, but they almost/always remember how we treated them! Anyone can be taught, regardless of their learning capacity, it all depends upon the diverse capability and the patience of the one whose teaching. My diverse background proves that I am capable of doing just that. Besides, I genuinely "LOVE" kids and believe that they can "be" or "do" whatever they set their hearts on to do."
