Prep To Succeed Volunteer ACT Tutoring Program

                                                      Prep To Succeed

Many students from more affluent areas have…

Epilogue

Six weeks goes fast like an arrow. when I came here first, I thought we talked to children and helped other tutors. However, my work which inform poverty to public was valuable and gave me a lot of advantage. Before I worked in here, I have not made a presentation using Prezi. While I made it, I studied and then was accustomed to using and applying it. So if I will have a chance to make a presentation, I'll use Prezi with confidence.

What I felt about Tutor/Mentor Connecntion…
