He studied with me around 5 years ago, when his mom hired me to help prepare him for secondary school. And until now, even though I no longer tutor him, we still talk a lot, mostly about his preparations for college.
To tell you more about him, he’s a very unique individual. If I’m not wrong, I think he’s 17 this year, but he’s as tall as professional basketball players.
