In 2001, I was a teachers aide at American Canyon Middle School, in American Canyon, CA, Napa County.

I find that the better students are aware of this and struggling students become more enthusiastic about learning after they discover this.
I am a graduate of Chico State with a BS in Computer Science and I was a student of their honors program. I was not a formal tutor, but I spent a lot of time with junior clas ... read more
