History Established in 2009. Originally known as Tutoring by Tess Meet the Manager Dean V. Manager Until the third grade, I had never struggled to grasp an academic concept. However, when introduced to long division, my brain simply could not make the connections necessary to understand the steps involved. I felt frustrated, and, beyond that, I felt as if I was a failure for lacking the skills that my peers apparently had. Luckily for me, after a few weeks with no progress, one of the school’s math teachers asked me to stay after so that we could tackle long division together. A miracle occurred- the teacher explained each part of the process to me simply, and, as we went over the assigned problems, my understanding suddenly blossomed to life.Looking back at my first experience with tutoring, it is startlingly clear to me that my mind needs to deal with math in a different manner than the majority of students, though our current education system does not accommodate for this deviation. Now, my passion is to help students who have struggled with the same problem.
