That you both recognize your own limitations and know at least one way how to get around them is a sign that you would be quite an _effective_ teacher, Nick. The adverse can be said for learners. Few know "how" to learn. As an adult with A.D.D., I learned how to learn when I was around 25. In high school I didn't do so well. Well, that's a bit of an understatement. But after I learned how to learn to match my needs, my college tracscript reads solid 4.0. You in particular have a great deal to teach, Nick. I really wouldn't want to see you not try to because you're afraid you might not be a good teacher. Just treat an individual as an individual, and work with him. Things sort themselves out in any kind of relationship like this. p
