[best guy ever]
matt came and helped me tutor. i think he taught alvin more than i've taught him in the past 3 weeks. he was REALLY good at it.. man.. i'm so happy =) it was so awesome to see matt (who doesn't speak a word of chinese) go through a WHOLE workbook with alvin (who BARELY speaks english). yes, he deserves a trophy or something. a medal.. a monument =P alvin is demanding that matt comes back to teach him again.. game me all sorts of reasons. hehe.. thank u so much. u've made tutoring so much easier =) i needa give u half what i make ;)
