Learn To Be would like to recognize Michael Taggart for his outstanding commitment to the Foundation and its mission. Michael has shown great dedication and devoted many hours to tutoring students in Language Arts. He brings a unique perspective to our diverse tutor corps and we thank him for his service to the community. Please take a moment to get to know our Tutor of the Month, Michael Taggart!
Where are you from? Collegeville, Pennsylvania How old are you? 23 What was your favorite childhood book? Gulliver's Travels or The Death and Return of Superman. My father got me into comics and my mother got me into literature. What was your favorite subject in school? English was definitely my favorite subject, which is probably why I'm a high school English teacher. What is your favorite hobby? I train in martial arts, including Chinese Kung Fu and Israeli Krav Maga. Those are probably my favorite hobbies. What is your favorite childhood memory? Definitely visiting the United States Air Force Museum in Dayton, OH and actually touching the X-15A2. It is the fastest aircraft ever flown--over 6.6 times the speed of sound! What do you enjoy most about tutoring for Learn The Be? I think the best part about tutoring for Learn To Be is the opportunity to open kids' eyes to the world of knowledge. Even if it's just a vocab lesson, I'll try to work in some history or science that I find fascinating. Congratulations, Michael!
