Help your child start off the new school year feeling prepared and confident. Summer is a great time for our children to decompress and engage in fun activities. But it’s also a time when children can forget some of the things they learned during the school year, making the new school year a difficult experience. EMA can help your child catch up in a weak subject, advance in a favorite subject, and develop study skills, all with one-on-one attention. Even better, they can connect any subject to your child’s interests and passions and make learning FUN! A Summer Tutoring program with EMA can help your child thrive!

Help Spread the Word! Three weeks ago a friend (proctologist) who created a YouTube video ‘bowel prep shuffle’ to help save lives from colon and rectal cancer had his account hacked and terminated. He had no way of retrieving the site. Even the Google support team was unable to recover it. He lost 13,000 views and over 40 comments. The video was a huge success and many who would not have had a colonoscopy had one done due to the video. What possesses someone to hack and close a site whose sole purpose was to help save lives? He has since put the video back up on a new YouTube account. To thwart the intent of the hacker, help him get as many people as possible to watch and share the video to turn this lemon into lemonade! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tptkG3Yg4YA

How Locals are Earning & Learning With New Tutor Community Aiming to do for private lessons what SitterCity did for babysitters, Chicago-based WyzAnt is building a digital bridge between students/parents and teachers to arrange one-on-one lessons. Since everyone’s learning style is different, students can find tutors in their area by reading reviews, narrowing the search using advanced criteria, emailing with prospective tutors and running background checks to ensure finding the best fit. WyzAnt’s subject experts gain the tools needed to market themselves teaching their passions full time or as a side gig. Topics cover everything from academic needs to extracurricular hobbies and even real-world skills like how to properly write an email or communicate with professionals.
