Dr.
Hammons has tutored extensively for English and
reading, as well as French, Statistics, Geography,
and remedial services. He combines genuine, deep
academic knowledge with a fun-filled approach to
learing that is guaranteed to break through the
walls surrounding any student and help them understand.
Tutoring and counseling are so
closely related that it is hard to make any meaningful
separation between the two. Any good teacher has the best
qualities of a mentor and any mentor is a teacher. Our
founder believes that one-to-one is the original and best
way to learn anything, especially difficult or new materials,
or subjects that have proven difficult for the student
to digest.
Any person or company needing instruction
or counseling training would do well to examine Dr. Hammons'
methods and his successes. A selected list of presentations
is below.
These represent only a few of the
hundreds of presentations that Dr. Hammons has planned
and delivered. A complete list is available upon request.
He will also tailor a presentation to any needs you or
your group may have.
