I am happy to say, In my case, "glory" has been passing a number of national exams. My most recent being the National Board of Certified Occupational Therapists (NBCOT), but others include a Personal Trainer certification with the American Council on Exercise, BASI Pilates, and other related certifications. While I've never been "certified" in conversational Russian, my achievement in that ability was forged out of years living in that country (teaching at an international school), which frequently meant swallowing my pride with my many grammatical mistakes, but continuing to make improvements through systematic study and a "growth mind-set" as described by author Carol Dweck Stanford University professor and author. The power of "not yet".

You haven't passed the finished line? Not yet? Not a problem!:-)

The qualities I strive to bring into every tutor session is persistence and movement to the goal. I facilitate lessons to bring about learning directly and indirectly.
