Episode 300 | Wes Carroll | Wes Carroll Tutoring & Coaching | The EdisonOS Podcast

Episode Description

Wes Carroll, founder of a 30-year-old tutoring practice with a team of 20, reveals his mission to help high-potential students achieve their potential faster. Drawing from decades of experience, Wes explains how he identifies high potential not just through academic ease, but through grit, self-awareness, and goal clarity—traits that often don't reveal themselves as superpowers until college. He discusses his toolkit-based coaching approach that prioritizes teaching humans over subjects, and shares why math competitions like AMC 12 are underrated pathways that develop thinking capacity colleges truly value. Wes challenges the notion that standardized test scores alone tell the full story, explaining how different skill sets—from meticulous execution to deep problem-solving—should inform how students approach both testing and their academic futures.
