“In my business - SAT tutoring - you get used to sighs. A client's moth...” — Eliot Schrefer Quote

“In my business - SAT tutoring - you get used to sighs.

“Russia, their number one client in the Middle East is Syria; that is their foothold in the Middle East. They want to have influence there.”

“At the end of the day, all I can do is continue to do a job for my client. That's it.”
