I tutor all ages: from Kindergarten through advanced algebra. At the moment, though, all of my students are between 7 and 14. While the younger kids are adorable and certainly have a lot of cute stories, I prefer tutoring the older kids: the math is more challenging, and the kids don't need constant redirection.
Usually.
I'm always amazed at how confident at articulate the kids are! Most of them are perfectly comfortable carrying on a conversation with me from Day 1, while I was terrified of adults until I was well into my teens. They also dress much more stylishly: I have eight year old girl's whose outfits are much more adult/on trend than mine!
While the idea of dressing in green and going out drinking for St. Patrick's Day seems like fun, I can't remember ever really doing it, largely because it always fell on a week day. I don't have anything against drinking in the middle of the week, but when you work and go to school, it's hard to make it happen.
I have no idea how Nathan came up with the Ghost Leprechaun story, and I didn't ask: CREEPY! But the other leprechaun pranks (obviously perpetrated by the kids' teachers) sounded really cute!
