- Self-AnalyzeI have taught professionally for five years in public schools but have worked for more than ten years in tutoring, mentoring, and educating students. I currently run many mini-versions and full live versions of these classes in Outschool as well and have reviews for all of them! Research is a skill that is covered at all levels in brick and mortar schools and is therefore something I have experience with quite a bit. This is the second course in a series which covers additional research skills and which highlights many of the skills colleges desire in their students.
