“After teaching in the public school system, I realized that even though all students do not learn the same, but they can learn. Through quality instruction, individualized self-directed learning, and student’s learning at their own pace can restore student’s dignity, honor, and self respect for learning. By teaching to the student and not to the test restores their self-esteem and their ability to learn and service their community. Through these concepts you will see them S.O.A.R. (Students of Academic Restoration)”.
