  1. I think this is a good supplement but for me, nothing beats face to face teaching. This can be use to practice but having a tutor in front of you is very different because you are being guided properly. I encourage my kids to meet a tutor every now and then for high school physics and they really became better at the subject.

  2. Howdy! Quick question that’s entirely off topic. Do you know how to make your site mobile friendly? My blog looks weird when browsing from my iphone. I’m trying to find a theme or plugin that might be able to resolve this issue. If you have any recommendations, please share. Cheers!
