My students are primarily children who have grown up in a city environment. They range in age from 13 to 20 and they run the gamut in terms of personality, but what they do have in common is an untapped ability to learn. Unfortunately, by the time they reach me in high school many of them have already formed bad learning habits and have little desire to learn new ones because they feel it is too late and too difficult to change. They are good kids who are trapped in a vicious cycle of underachievement but have amazing potential for success if they would only stop working against themselves.
