I wanted to have Dan on the show to learn more about the inner workings of the mysterious private tutor world. When I was coming up, private tutors were hardly a thing; now, they can be a difference maker. Access to elite educational opportunities is a key line of division in our fracturing society and, while in education we tend to look for systemic solutions, what’s going on with private tutors suggests that individual intervention may be where we want to focus.
Tune in to this fascinating conversation to learn:
- Why parents around the world are willing to pay people like Dan upwards of $2000 per hour to help their kids do better on standardized tests
- What close reading is and why it’s the secret to standardized test success
- Just what is being measured by standardized tests, and why should we care about it
- Why, despite their issues and limitations, many schools are turning back to standardized test scores to help sort candidates
- How the best schools in the world are designed to create lifelong learners rather than for information/curriculum delivery
- And Much, much more
