Are You a 21st Century Learner?

Every day I walk down the hallway to my office and see a black and white poster that reads,

We have seen our students really benefit from the use of podcasts as an additional review tool. What have they told us? First, they like the ability to listen at times convenient to their schedule, and as frequently as they need to understand or remember the information.

The ever going demand of Tutoring

Looking at the current educational trend there is a strong demand for tutors in the United States and UK, propelled in part by highly ambitious students aiming for admission into high profile courses and competitive colleges and by others who qualify for publicly funded tutoring because of No Child Left Behind.
