Episode Description
In this episode, Lindsey Wander, founder of WorldWise Tutoring, shares her homework approach of assigning 1-3 hours of independent practice per tutoring hour while achieving high completion rates. She reveals her unique strategy of providing students with answer keys, transforming homework into self-advocacy training where students learn to identify exactly where they struggle and articulate their specific learning needs. Lindsey explains her diagnostic process that separates genuine skill gaps from test anxiety through untimed retesting, and shares why she believes current AI question generation falls short of expert-created content. She discusses her "green light" system for determining test readiness and reveals a memorable case where tutoring sessions helped identify undiagnosed dyslexia in a junior, leading to proper accommodations and academic transformation that changed the student's entire educational trajectory.
