Overall Experience   
Helping little Colton learn to read was a blast and something that was very worthwhile for me.

While I was able to help my young student learn to be a better reader, he taught me patience and how to be a more effective teacher. We developed a friendship that was meaningful and I'm very glad that I was able to spend time as a tutor in this program. posted on October 3, 2008
