Michael I hope al is going well with your studies. Let
me know when you may want to review the various skills we know you need
to master.
You are probably doing quite a few
essay types. Since we worked
together I have developed multiple resources for a variety of classes.
We can certainly find ways you can better understand all of your classes
and communicate what you know. And the
Supplemental Resources
designed for
your specific classes... will help you as well.
We could begin as early as we find a schedule which works...
Here are some general assignments for our next session.
I
hope your beginnings of school went well.
Please send me a list of the classes
you are taking. |Here is your page address
