INTRODUCTION
Mr. Sims’ educational journey began when he was a student. As a dyslexic child with ADD and ADHD, school could be very overwhelming; however, with the help of a few great teachers, he became a top student at one of the best schools in a state of 22 million. He went on to win awards in both writing and performance art competitions. It was during this time that he was introduced to the idea of teaching, which he quickly fell in love with. Since then, he has taught students aged 5 to 80 in subjects ranging from Aikido and ballroom dance to the history of poetry (he may not be the best dancer, but he is a passionate teacher). He always remembers the patience, passion, and wisdom of his own teachers and strives to offer the same to his students.
