Not the misty story about hazy-day summer sessions with adoring students who fawned over my abilities. Inside is a sometimes acerbic, sometimes tongue-in-cheek look at the world of tutoring. There are no cherubic encounters with eager learners or tall tales regaling the greatness of one (or another) of my secret tutoring techniques. You will encounter (head-on) my frustrations, the truth about "Competitive" parents and of course, some useful hints and hidden truths reflecting the world of tutoring.
