- Tutoring Ethan.
- I realized he barely even tried on tests.
- So I gave him a practice exam.
- He got a near perfect score.
- So why was he failing?
- I looked at his other tests.
- Ah, his English and History scores were
- abysmal. He was a hardcore STEM kid.
- I explained a few concepts, and he got it right
- away.
- Math brains, am I right?
- I was honestly a little jealous.
- I’d been a diligent student since elementary
- school, even sacrificing weekends to study.
- After getting into Crestview Prep, I’d burn the
- midnight oil, splashing my face with cold
- water just to stay awake and review.
- And this guy, understanding complex.
- concepts after a single explanation.
- Over the next few tutoring sessions, I
- discovered Ethan had a photographic
- memory.
- Except when it came to essay writing. That
- was a disaster.
- So I meticulously walked him through essay
- structure.
- “You can add rhetorical devices, idioms,
- elaborate on your points…”
- He leaned back in his chair, one eyebrow
- raised.
- “Like?”
- “Just try using a few idioms in a sentence.”
- He chuckled.
- “Okay.”
- “Like, ‘The class president and I were both
- dozing at our desks.“”
- “I could add some idioms to that…”
- I looked at him encouragingly.
- The early summer heat was stifling. I took a
- sip of the juice my mom had brought.
- He watched me, his dark eyes intense.
- “The class president and I were just getting
- down and dirty on our desks.”
- “Pfft.”
