A self-taught man usually has a poor teacher and a worse student.” – Henny Youngman
Henry “Henny” Youngman was an American comedian famous for his one-liners. But, as a master violinist, Henny also understood the value of good instruction. And so do we. Although, things have changed a bit since the 1930’s when Henny released his hit single “Take my wife, please.”
I don’t know about you, but I’ve never had the best experience with my teachers. I think the feeling was mutual. I remember asking Mr. Mack, my geography teacher, if you could see the names of continents from outer space. He certainly didn’t appreciate humor like Henny. I spent the rest of the class cursing Mack Daddy in the detention room. Big Mack and I never got along. But I digress.
The world of teaching has changed significantly with the advent of Al Gore’s internet. People are now tutoring online with a few keystrokes and earning some serious side income.
