Episode 134: Get Streamlined! Finding The Learner Within

Ian has been doing test prep and college consulting for a decade. In that time, he’s delivered some of the highest improvements on the SAT and ACT in the country and has helped over 90% of the students he worked with get into their top choice colleges. Through thousands of hours working 1-on-1 with students, he also made a simple realization: amidst all the worry about being evaluated and good enough to be accepted (at an elite college, on social media, or among their friends), students have lost sight of what makes them so special: their incredible, unique capacity to learn. Ian has an unconventional but extremely effective approach to excavating the incredible learner that exists in each student he works with. He’s the author of The Tutor Bible: Learning to Learn Again, where he details his philosophy and illustrates the overlooked reality that every great leader, thinker, and doer had an expert tutor or mentor. Like Aristotle for Alexander the Great, Ian will stop at nothing to make your child great.
