Update

Readers may be interested to know of some updates in my life and that of my family, so here goes, after three years:

My son Ryan having "graduated" (I don't like using that term for completing secondary schooling, but that's the usage in the United States, so let's move on) from Woodbridge High School in June and having successfully started, on his 18th birthday, as a sophomore at UC Riverside (a disappointing outcome for us, but nonetheless he seems happy),  I have given up any immediate plans to start a school; but given the success my former students are having, with many more currently on the way to similar outcomes, I decided that any new business I start should build on current successes. Therefore my new plan is to begin One World Education Centre here in Irvine, with the possibility of its growing into One World College and One World School later, if we continue to attract more like the many promising gymnasiasts who have recently requested my teaching.

My daughter Joyce graduated from Drexel Medical School in 2017, and is a doctor in residency in Newark, Deleware.

My son Matthew has graduated from UC San Diego with a double major in Computer Science and Psychology, and is a software developer with Intuit (and already making more money than I ever have!).

Ryan, 18, is a sophomore in Mechanical Engineering at UC Riverside. I was very proud of him when he passed his Cambridge Admissions test in San Luis Obispo, and was invited to interview at Robinson College in Cambridge, England last December; but because Irvine, California could not come up with the advanced calculus-based physics tutoring he needed in either its much-ballyhooed unified school district or its community college or its university, in spite of his having achieved a 5 in Calculus BC during the 11th grade, Cambridge's in-person written exam proved too tough for him; and combined with my poor income from the past several years, rendered his application for its admission unsuccessful, and therefore he is now at what we only intended to be his safety school, from which he may wish to transfer to Berkeley engineering in a couple of years.
