Young People of the YearYoung People of the Year has nominated some young people for doing something incredible

We interviewed this person, Joel Davis. Joel Davis is a young dude from London, Great Britain. Joel have always struggled with reading at school, and the worst part is he did not get any proper help. He said that is was a rough time for him, because offshore school, he should work, because the family was poor, and he should help his sick mother.

Joel told us when he turned 18; it was there his mother began to get better and because she got better, Joel got more strength. He searched for some reading help. He found some classes, but they were very expensive. Therefore, he took it in his own hands. He began to read, at least, 20 minutes every day. He started reading faster and faster. Yet did he still have some trouble with spelling, so he also began to write. He found spelling and grammatical assignments. After about one year and a half, he decided to start his own tutoring service with Homework help. It started in his mother’s garage, where he put some tables and chairs. There was about 2-5 kids in a week. He did not care how many there was, he was happy with two children, if it would help them. The few children who came, was so thrilled and happy. The help was working, so they told their parents and all their friends about this fantastic place. Then it started to grow. People was offering their help, and they were offering rooms and halls.
