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
