Michigan Math Tutor

Dear Parents:

New semester commences and so do our hopes for better academic achievement.  I would like to thank all you parents who not only dedicate yourself to the students also go one step further to advance them to the next level of excellence.

As I stated in my web site, http://www.satmath.org/,  Sooner   >  Later  >  Never 

According to www.salary.com, ?Any way you measure it, a college degree is the best investment of your life. In today's dollars, a bachelor's degree is worth more than $2.1 million over 40 years. "Having that post-secondary diploma can make such a difference in lifetime earnings," said Washington, D.C.-based Employment Policy Foundation President Ed Potter. 

Finally, we have all the schedules fixed, I think.  Thank you all for the cooperation and patience.  As you may know, my rate has increased a couple times but this won?t stop people from requesting to come to my tutoring class.   I have stopped accepting new students for this semester (Yes, I keep receiving, phone calls, emails for enrolling?).  Therefore, I sincerely ask your help to affix to your schedule.  If there is any emergency or circumstances that are out of your control, I would like to hear from you earlier so I can utilize that time for other kids that are desperate for some classes.  For other non-emergency change requests, I wish to know them one week in advance.

Most of the requests for PSAT/ACT/SAT test prep were not taken until the summer.  So, please also consider utilizing the summer vacation to sharpen their math skills.  I recommend summer since this will not conflict with the regular school academic and extra curriculum activities. My experience is that students having been in my class, improved their PSAT/SAT/ACT scores by 25% to 150%. This is a great investment.  Please keep that in mind that the summer ACT/SAT class will have multiple students in a room and hence the rate is lower.  Please see http://www.satmath.org/rates.htm. 

Let?s continue to work together to help our students.
