Episode 287 | Jeff Negus | Tutoring In An Instant | The EdisonOS Podcast

Episode Description

In this episode, Jeff Negus, a private tutor with over 11 years of experience, shares how he initially felt skeptical about the SAT's digital shift but grew positive after seeing reduced student anxiety from shorter passages and the elimination of the no-calculator section. Tutoring 9-11 standardized test students annually plus over 50 Air Force officer candidates, Jeff reveals his "in an instant method"—analyzing the most common question types students miss and providing targeted worksheets for incremental improvement on each exam. He discusses the challenge of students rushing homework right before sessions, explains why coastal areas favor SAT while central US prefers ACT, and shares his most difficult parent conversation: a father who wouldn't let his son take the actual test until achieving perfect scores on every practice exam. Jeff also unveils his exciting new AI-powered web application, AFOQT Wingman, designed to help military test-takers master extremely time-sensitive sections with as little as 10-12 seconds per question.
