Many more of them live next door,
And the band begins to play..."

TINA TSAI - Bridesmaid
If you're a parent who lives on the east side of Los Angeles or Covina,
and you value your kids' education, you might want to consider
enrolling your child in a supplemental learning center.
You should contact Tina.
When this multi-tasking, tea-loving (she got Annette hooked on Tea Station milk teas!) fiction writer, educator, businesswoman, doctor of education(!)
isn't personally overseeing all her schools, you can probably
find her doing laps in an Olympic-sized pool.
