Algebra

“Hi Gil, As a teacher myself, I was ecstatic to hear you pushing Wyatt, asking him higher level thinking questions. I think you set up a good rapport with Wyatt. He is very smart (IQ of 152) but his strengths lie in the English/Social Science and Art realms. He is a gifted musician who has always struggled with math, especially Algebra, just like I did. With that struggle & the feeling of not doing well in subject, the idea of just giving up on it naturally has come. I appreciate you taking the time to know him and I like your encouraging, yet challenging approach! Thank you!” – B. (Parent)
