Podcasts about tutoring

How we show up to treat our patients as a dental hygienist is up to us. We can make or break our own day when we show up with the wrong mindset or negative self-sabotage. I compiled a list of things that have really helped my clinical days as a dental hygienist. It can be one of those careers that produce significant early career burnout and dissatisfaction - if you are not careful.I worked for almost thirty years as a dental hygienist. Some of the things on my list were the primary reasons behind how I was able to overcome the limits and remain grateful for the ability to perform the job. I love this profession, and I want others to see the value it can bring to your soul - if you take the time to look at things the way they can be seen.

This month, I'm slowing down — not to plan more, but to see more. In today's episode, I'm talking about something I believe every microschool founder needs before stepping into a new year: an Autumn Audit. I know how it feels to get caught up in the whirlwind of running your school — the lesson plans, family communications, finances, tours, and events. But if we're not careful, we can move so fast that we stop seeing the beauty of what we've built. The Autumn Audit is a moment to pause and look at your school — or even just the dream of your school — through new eyes. Whether you're already open and serving families or you're just beginning to build, this reflection process helps you realign your space, your systems, and your spirit with the vision God first placed in your heart. ✨ In This Episode, I'm Sharing: Why reflection is the most important — and often most neglected — leadership skill for microschool founders. The real reason burnout happens (and how to course-correct before January). The simple questions I'm asking myself during my own Autumn Audit at Lighthouse Learning. How to see your microschool through the eyes of your parents, staff, and students — and use that feedback to grow. What's included inside this month's Microschool Masterminds experience, including:   My Autumn Audit Workbook A Kid-Friendly School Audit Checklist (students love this one!) The Staff & Community Reflection Guide And the Parent Post-Tour Follow-Up Template to turn curiosity into connection.

Psych/Soc has officially changed… and most students are still studying it the old way.

Send us a text if you want to be on the Podcast & explain why!A 63-year-old pivoted careers and passed the NASM CPT by changing how he studied, not who he is. We open the playbook we used together: a clean path through the OPT model, phase-by-phase variables, and the corrective decisions that make both the test and client sessions click. If you've felt buried by jargon, this conversation pulls concepts into the light and connects them to simple choices you can make tomorrow.We start with stabilization and build to strength and power, linking tempos, rests, and intensities so you can see why each phase exists. Foam rolling shows up across the board, but stretching changes with the goal—static early, active-isolated through strength, dynamic in power. From there, we map common overactive muscles in the lower body to practical fixes: roll, stretch, then strengthen the underactive counterpart at a controlled tempo. You'll hear quick wins like how to handle heels lifting in a squat, what to do when shoulders elevate on a row, and why scaption and TRX rows keep showing up on smart Phase One programs.Clarity around planes of motion, muscle roles, and scapular force couples pays off fast. We break down how to spot the sagittal, frontal, or transverse answer in seconds, and how agonists, antagonists, synergists, and stabilizers guide exercise selection. We also hit vital signs that matter—hypertension thresholds, tachycardia as a referral trigger, and the wrist's radial pulse—as well as nutrition basics: carbohydrate ranges, saturated fat limits, protein's thermic advantage, and the role of insulin, growth hormone, IGF-1, and cortisol.Most valuable might be the test strategy itself: read the stem slowly, find the keyword like underactive or best strengthen, choose the option that advances the model, and move on. Paul's story proves it's not about age or memorizing a manual—it's about organizing knowledge that actually helps people. Ready to pass and start coaching with purpose?

This month we've got three guests on the podcast - two of our new Student Fellows, Gaurav Saxena and Pratham Gupta, introduce themselves and share a couple of their plans for the year ahead. We also hear from BILT Academic Director and A-PVC Prof. Alvin Birdi on the new personal tutoring system and the changes to marking criteria currently in development.

In dental hygiene school you will learn all about the use of ultrasonics. They are considered the standard of care and will provide you with a sigifnicant resource for biofilm managment. The learning curve is significant and can really intimidate the early clinician - stick with it! Like anything else in life, it is hard until it isn't - that is just the way it is.Additional resources:Tutoring with Me: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://calendly.com/d/cszb-s4r-hy4/tutoring-with-billie⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Leave me a message or send a question I can share on the Podcast⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Here⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Time Management Prioritization Quiz - Find out how you rate ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠HERE ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Study Sheets: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://thehappyflosserrdh.etsy.com/ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Specialized Course: How to be successful in Dental Hygiene School⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://billie-lunt-s-school.teachable.com/p/how-to-be-successful-in-dental-hygiene-school⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Other Podcasts: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠blog.feedspot.com/dental_hygiene_podcasts/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠  Email Me: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠HappyflosserRDH@gmail.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Leave me a message or ask a question I can share on the Podcast ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Here ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Time Management Prioritization Quiz - Find out how you rate ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠HERE ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Check out my free scorecard for students - you can rank yourself on how you are doing to take action on the steps toward being a successful college student.

In this inspiring episode, I sit down with Kami Melton, founder of Arkwright Microschool, to hear how her journey from homeschooling mom to microschool builder unfolded—inside a yurt! Kami began her homeschooling journey in Virginia, later moved with her family to Poland, and returned to rural southwest Georgia during the pandemic. In a county of fewer than 5,000 people, Kami and her community did something extraordinary: they raised money for an authentic Blue Ridge Yurt that now serves as the heart of her microschool. Together, we talk about what it means to stay anchored through life's transitions, the power of community, and how faith and perseverance shaped the dream that became Arkwright Microschool—a creative homeschool hybrid offering à la carte, half-day, and full-day programs with Learning Quests designed for twice-exceptional learners. Kami shares how she built her own proprietary curriculum, balanced family and faith through challenges, and leaned on a strong marriage as a foundation for both homeschooling and entrepreneurship. Her story reminds us that innovation doesn't have to happen in big cities or big buildings—it can grow right in your backyard, even under the canvas of a yurt. If you've ever wondered what it takes to blend creativity, courage, and community to bring your educational vision to life, you won't want to miss this conversation.

In this episode we connect genetics + central dogma to the next big step: how cells copy DNA and what happens when it goes wrong.What you'll learn (MCAT-high yield):Semi-conservative replication: why each daughter DNA has one old + one new strandOrigins of replication & replication bubblesKey enzymes: helicase, SSB proteins, topoisomerase, DNA pol III & I, primase, ligaseLeading vs. lagging strands and Okazaki fragmentsProofreading & repair: exonuclease activity, mismatch repair, nucleotide excision repair (UV/thymine dimers)Mutation types: silent, nonsense, frameshift (+ why location matters)Where this shows up in cell cycle, cancer biology, and classic experimental set-ups (knockouts)Perfect for MCAT Bio/Biochem passages that love replication, mutations, and repair pathways.Want to learn more?

The Seattle Public Library has launched an initiative to provide free, drop-in tutoring and study support for K-12 students at nine branches citywide through its Homework Help program. This effort seeks to address the challenges of accessing affordable academic support, particularly in the wake of pandemic-related disruptions. Elisa Murray, Communications Strategist for The Seattle Public Library, will elaborate on the expansion of this crucial resource and its role in enhancing educational accessibility for all students. Interview by Chris B. Bennett.

Join Molly and Jack for a CARS Reading Skills Workshop as they unpack Susan Sontag's “Reflective Art”. Learn how to spot main ideas, separate concrete from “wishy-washy” lines, and use author tone and repetition to navigate dense prose. We also dive into why Sontag highlights emotional distance, postponed gratification, and filmmaker Robert Bresson and how these themes show up in CARS questions.What you'll learn:How to find the main idea when the writing is abstract“Concrete vs. wishy-washy” sentence filter (what to cling to vs. skim)Why detachment changes emotional responses in reflective artHow labels like “cold” vs “hot” art can be trapsPractical CARS habits: stay engaged without importing your own opinionsTry the passage & 5 questions:

DNA doesn't “do", it instructs. In this episode of the Jack Westin MCAT Podcast, Mike and Molly walk through the central dogma, how we go from DNA → RNA → protein—and the regulation that makes different cells, well, different. Perfect for MCAT Bio/Biochem: we hit transcription, RNA processing, translation mechanics (A–P–E sites), start/stop codons, eukaryote vs. prokaryote differences, and multi-layered gene expression regulation (chromatin, transcription factors, miRNA/siRNA, ubiquitin, & more).

How do you go from hearing a quiet tug on your heart to building a thriving microschool in only four months? In this episode, I sit down with Lauren Talbot—former accountant, middle school math teacher, and now the founder of The Anchor Learning Center in Louisiana. From her one-stoplight town, Lauren followed God's unmistakable call to leave public education and step into something completely new: creating a homeschool hybrid microschool. Lauren shares how she describes her journey as “weaving the tapestry of my calling and destiny”—a beautiful, faith-filled story that began the day she buckled her seatbelt, drove away from her classroom, and received a life-changing phone call that confirmed her next steps. Today, just four months later, she and her mom are serving 30 students alongside student interns, bringing her vision to life and transforming her community. Lauren is also a proud member of our Microschool Masterminds community—a supportive network of founders who, like her, are guided step-by-step through building, growing, and sustaining their microschools and homeschool hybrids. In this episode, you'll also hear how the Mastermind has helped Lauren find encouragement, strategies, and clarity as she stepped into leadership. If you've ever wondered… Could I really build a microschool from scratch—even in a small town? How do I follow God's call when it feels risky or “taboo”? Where do I find a community of people who understand this journey? …then this story will inspire and empower you. ✨ Press play to hear Lauren's powerful testimony of surrender, faith, and courage—and discover how Microschool Masterminds can help you weave the tapestry of your own calling.  Starting a microschool comes with incredible joy—but it also comes with the pressure of making everyone happy: parents, students, even your staff. If you've ever felt the weight of parent expectations on your shoulders, this episode is for you. In today's conversation, I'm pulling back the curtain on how new founders can manage parent pressure without burning out. We'll talk about: ✨ Why boundaries are essential for your sanity and your school's success ✨ How proactive communication reduces conflict and builds trust ✨ The reality that confidence doesn't come overnight—it grows with systems, support, and consistency ✨ Practical ways to onboard parents, clarify expectations, and foster community involvement And most importantly, I'll remind you that you are not alone. What if you had a community of founders who reminded you that you're not crazy for doing this—and helped you do it well? That's exactly why I created Microschool Masterminds and the Open House Playbook. These resources are designed to give you the clarity, tools, and encouragement you need to lead with confidence.

What happens when advising professionals reimagine scholarship—not as something locked behind paywalls and jargon, but as a living, collaborative practice? In this episode of Adventures in Advising, hosts Matt and Ryan sit down with Dr. David Grey (UKAT) and Dr. Oscar van den Wijngaard (Maastricht University) to discuss Waypoint, a new open-access journal dedicated to student advising practice and research across Europe.From redefining what “scholarly” means to creating a more inclusive, dialogue-driven peer review process, Oscar and David share how Waypoint is breaking barriers and building bridges between theory and practice. Whether you're an advisor, researcher, or simply curious about how ideas become action in higher education, this conversation will inspire you to find your own waypoint in the evolving landscape of academic advising.Check out the inaugural edition of Waypoint!Follow the podcast on your favorite podcast platform!The Instagram, and Facebook handle for the podcast is @AdvisingPodcastAlso, subscribe to our Adventures in Advising YouTube Channel!Connect with Matt and Ryan on LinkedIn.

This conversation left me considering so much of how I speak and listen to others. As a dental hygienist, we spend so much of our time communicating with others. Sometimes we may miss the most impactful component of communication - listening and confirming that we understand. This conversation with Julie Leparri was truly enjoyable and inspired me to reconsider how I communicate with others. She is a expert mentor in so many aspects of communication and body language - I encourage you to listen with the intention of understanding her advice.I am looking forward to her book release later this fall. We chat about many concepts she covers in the book as it is being developed. Her insight and knowledge has inspired me to be a better communicator and challenge some of my own bad habits when working with others.

Beyond the Sessions is answering YOUR parenting questions! In this episode Dr. Emily Upshur and I talk about...   - The difference between executive function coaching and academic tutoring, and how to decide which is right for your child. - Practical systems and routines (like planners, folders, and structured study spaces) that you can implement yourself to help your child stay on top of assignments. - How to co-create routines and systems with your child that build independence and make them more likely to stick with it. - When to consider a neuropsychological evaluation for your child—and how identifying whether challenges stem from ADHD, learning differences, or executive functioning deficits can help you target the right supports to strengthen their skills. - How parents can support their child without overwhelming them or stretching family resources too thin.   Understanding the difference between executive function coaching and tutoring can make all the difference in getting your child the support they truly need. This episode will help you feel confident and informed as you decide what's right for your family.     REFERENCES AND RELATED RESOURCES:

October is a turning point for microschool leaders, homeschool hybrid founders, and small school visionaries. The excitement of the first weeks has settled, the routines are in place, and now comes the opportunity to either drift into burnout—or intentionally recalibrate for the months ahead. In this episode of the Teacher Let Your Light Shine Podcast, Makenzie Oliver unpacks exactly what microschool leaders need in October: a renewed focus on culture, systems, and community. Learn how to prevent burnout by aligning your team's strengths, build trust and momentum with parents through a Parent Advisory Committee, and expand your school's reach with a Community Advisory Board of local leaders. We'll talk about financial and operational checkpoints every school should hit this month, the power of an annual engagement plan to simplify communication, and how to strengthen parent and student relationships through intentional touchpoints. Whether you're building your microschool, growing enrollment, or scaling your vision for impact, this episode gives you clarity, connection, and concrete steps to move into the rest of the year with confidence.

How do we know if our patients need ortho treatment? When is the best age to send them for an evaluation? Is there a time tht is best? What are the concerns we should be looking for in our patients. In this episode, we will review some of the assessment parts that are important for the dental hygienist to be looking at in addition to a full occlusal assessment that help us determine the risk level of ortho treatment needs. We are tasked with supporting a healthy dentition for our ortho patients and need to provide education on the signifiance of proper form and function as well as proper care and routine.

In this Reading Skills Workshop, Molly and Jack break down the Sept 24 Jack Westin Daily, “Late Turner,” and show you how to read dense, abstract prose without panicking.What you'll learn:- Anchor on clear sentences: If it's important, there's a clear line you can cling to.- Track the author's stance: The passage sets up “Turner = abstract” and then challenges it.- Main idea: Turner's late work isn't free-form abstraction; it's formal reinterpretation of classical myths.- Follow the structure: Evidence → counterpoint → author's claim → examples.- Use examples as support, not trivia: Apollo & Daphne, Regulus, Mercury, Bacchus & Ariadne all illustrate reinterpretation.- Stay focused in dense writing: When sentences get murky, keep reading for the next clear, testable claim.Before you watch:Read the Sept 24 “Late Turner” daily passage: https://jackwestin.com/daily/mcat-practice-passages/cars-practice-passages/late-turnerWant more guided practice?Join our free weekly sessions (CARS, science strategy, 516 planning, admissions) and tap into our free CARS QBank, practice exams, and CARS textbook: https://jackwestin.com/sessionsWant to learn more?

What does it look like to step out of traditional education and wait on God's timing to build something completely new? In this inspiring episode, I sit down with Jennifer Pinto, co-founder of Logos Homeschool Academy in Iowa. After leaving traditional schooling in 2023, Jennifer connected with a like-minded friend—whom she met in the library—and together they launched a homeschool hybrid program rooted in faith, family, and freedom. With a deep conviction and a clear understanding of Iowa's homeschool laws, Jennifer and her partner were able to form their LLC and bring their vision to life. But it wasn't an easy road—Jennifer shares how “knowing her why” carried her through trials and tribulations, keeping her focused on her calling. As an incredible contributor in our Microschool Masterminds community, Jennifer has embraced coaching, mentorship, and collaboration. From one-on-one coaching to ongoing membership support, she has even budgeted professional development into her monthly finances—a true testament to her dedication to growth, leadership, and sustainability. Jennifer's story will inspire you if you've ever asked: How do I start a microschool or homeschool hybrid when I don't know where to begin? What role does faith play when the road feels uncertain? Where can I find a community to walk with me through trials and victories? Her journey is one of shepherding her calling, waiting on God's timing, and persevering through seasons of challenge. ✨ Press play to hear Jennifer's testimony of courage, conviction, and clarity—and discover how Microschool Masterminds can help you grow your own vision into reality.   Teacher Let Your Light Shine Microschool, Learning Pod, Tutoring and Homeschool Business Coaching We also invite you to join your new FAVORITE online community full of resources, templates, videos, LIVE Q and A, Group Coaching and New Monthy Content Centered around your Educational Entrepreneurship Needs!

That's the wrong approach.In this episode, Molly and Mike reframe OChem for the MCAT: small footprint, high-yield focus, and strategy over memorization. You'll learn why OChem is only 10–12 questions, how to master stereochemistry, functional groups, and core reactions, and how to avoid overstudying. We'll also cover spectroscopy, chromatography, and the most common mistakes students make.⏱️ Timestamps02:09 – How Much OChem Really Appears (10–12 Questions)05:20 – OChem Isn't All Mechanisms (Reality Check)08:36 – High-Yield Topic #1: Stereochemistry13:30 – High-Yield Topic #2: Nucleophiles & Electrophiles18:23 – Why You Shouldn't Memorize Mechanisms19:35 – High-Yield Topic #3: Functional Groups23:30 – High-Yield Topic #4: SN1 vs. SN225:40 – High-Yield Topic #5: Redox in Organic Chemistry30:40 – Why Functional Groups vs. Reaction Memorization33:19 – High-Yield Topic #6: Spectroscopy & Chromatography41:05 – How OChem Shows Up in Passages50:30 – Key OChem Study Tips & Pitfalls to Avoid55:10 – Connections Across Subjects (Bio + Biochem)57:43 – Final Takeaways: OChem is Only Scary if You Over-Memorize

Being fully booked might feel like a win, but if your bank account is tight and your energy is drained, is it really success? In this episode, I unpack the illusion of being “busy” versus actually building a profitable and sustainable tutoring business. From undercharging and overworking, to ignoring your true expenses, I share the mindset shifts and practical strategies you need to finally pay yourself properly, protect your time and grow with confidence. If you've ever thought, “I'm working so hard, but it doesn't feel worth it”, this episode is for you. What You'll Learn in This Episode:

Kyle tutors a snooty rich girl… with equally rich results.    by MarshalMarmont1815  - listen to the Podcast. at Steamy Stories. After the break was over, I was somewhat excited to return to school. On the bus, Emily was all over me. “I still can't believe Mom fucked you.” Emily said. “Well we can't all live such glamorous lives as I do,” I said as I puffed an imaginary cigar. Emily hit me playfully on the stomach before unzipping my pants. “So are you excited to be a senior?” Emily asked as she licked my cum from between her fingers.“Pretty much,” I replied, “it'll hopefully be better now that I have that journalism scholarship in the bag.” She stroked my cock. “Just promise me that wherever you go, you'll take me with you.” I looked at her and saw the serious concern in her face. I wrapped my arm around her. “Emily, there is no one in the entire world I'd rather spend my life with. Who knows? Maybe we'll even travel the world together.” She smiled and lay her head on my chest, continuing to stroke me as we pulled up to the school. The teachers directed us to the large gymnasium and onto the bleachers. I saw many girls in blouses and floral dresses that looked as if they could double as a tablecloth in Julia Child's kitchen. “I'd love to see you in those,” I said to Emily, wearing a motorcycle T-shirt and leather skirt along with her knee high leather boots. “You've seen me naked,” she retorted, “So why do you care?” I considered this. “Good point. Consider it stricken from the record.” “Never was recorded,” she replied as we sat. I laughed and shook my head as she nestled against me The principal, Jennie Stevens came onto the stage and began to speak. Her black top and sweater did little to hide the curves of her 30J tits. She spoke of the school policies, dress codes and class schedules. Thankfully, I had my friends in many of the same periods. Ms. Franklin, a 36-year-old English teacher was immediately one of my instant favorites. She really encouraged my writing and over the next few days read my short stories. She had a curvy figure and still looked attractive in her black skirt and blue heels. Her 32G tits nearly popping from her blouse. “Kyle?” she called as I was about to hustle out with the class to lunch. “Yes Ms. Franklin?” I asked. She fiddled with her gold wedding ring and began. I could tell she was having marital problems but I didn't press. Not at the moment anyway. “You know Kendall Hutchinson don't you?” “Yes…” I answered, not sure why she was asking about her. Kendall was a senior as well and cheerleader not to mention one of the most popular girls in school. “Well, to make it short,” Ms. Franklin said, “she's failing this class. And the last thing I want is for anyone to stay behind. So… seeing as your one of my best students, I'd like you to consider tutoring her.” Being as Kendall was as snooty as they came, Ms. Franklin more than likely saw my hesitation. “I know it's a lot to ask, Kyle. Especially with no pay but I'll try anything to make it up to you.” As you know, I can never resist a woman in need. She looked at me pleadingly with her warm brown eyes and I sighed. “Yay!” she cheered excitedly while clapping her hands. “Don't worry, I'll arrange everything with Kendall. Thank you so much Kyle.” I smiled at her happiness. “You're welcome.” She was still smiling as I walked to lunch. Emily snoozed on my chest after a hard and fast paced ‘first day of after school fuck' (Emily's words). Her hand remained tightly clenched on my cock but I didn't mind. I just loved having her near me, her strawberry scented shampoo being so comforting. My phone chimed on the table next to her bed and she stirred but didn't wake up. I checked the text and groaned as I saw it was from Kendall. “Go ahead,” Emily groaned without opening her eyes and she rolled off me, letting me quickly dress after she kissed me. “And I want you good and hard tomorrow!” she called after me as I left out the door. - As I pulled up to Kendall's house, I was taken aback by the size of the house. Both a Mercedes and Maserati were in the garage. I knew the Maserati was hers from her constant bragging. After I knocked, the door flung open and I came in contact with Kendall's angry glare. Her black tank top let her 36F boobs move freely and was perfectly combined with her plaid miniskirt. “About time you've gotten here!” she said with an eye roll. “Oh!” another woman said as she came around the corner, “is this your tutor Kendall?” “Barely,” she retorted, “he's 5 minutes late.” “Well we're all late sometimes,” the beautiful woman said with a warm smile, “or in your case, sometimes completely absent.” Kendall rolled her eyes as her mother invited me in. “Hello Kyle,” she said with a soft handshake which made her K-cups shake as well (obviously natural). “I'm Amy Hutchinson.” the kind woman said, “Kendall's mother.” “I wouldn't have ever guessed you were anything over 20,” I said. Amy blushed as Kendall rolled her eyes and pushed me toward the stairs. “Have a good study session you two,” Amy said as we left the room, “it was nice meeting you Kyle.” When we reached Kendall's room, she pushed me inside and began to text her idiotic friends on her phone. “I believe a key part of tutoring involves study material…” I said and she sighed before rummaging through her backpack. Her short skirt rode up her ass as she continued looking and soon I could feel my cock getting harder and fuller. I couldn't take my eyes off her white panties and I could clearly see her camel toe. When she announced she had found it, I sat down to avoid her seeing my boner. The last thing I needed was her loud mouth telling her friends how I got hard in her bedroom. Matters weren't helped when Amy walked in, her large boobs bouncing. “I'm going to the office kids. There's food in the fridge if you get hungry.” As Kendall stood, her tank top had nearly fell underneath her boobs and I stiffened even further. The cold air in the room soon had her tits poking through her top. Thankfully she didn't notice as she threw the book onto the bed and flopped down with a large sigh. After an hour and a half, we had made little progress and she was still struggling to understand. As we took a break, her phone chimed and she shot up. “Oh shit I forgot!” Kendall exclaimed, “Ashton is having her party tonight. I have to get ready!” Forgetting I was there, I watched as she rushed to her closet and nearly pulled off her top before she looked at me. “Okay look,” she said, “I know Ms. Hutchinson is holding you to this. So how about we simply tell her you came and tutored me and we can forget the whole thing?” “Why would I do that?” I asked coyly. “Because I said so…” she said as if it was obvious. “I don't see what I get out of it,” I said, “besides I promised Ms. Hutchinson I'd do it.” “Oh I see,” she said, “you need some payment for your silence. Alright let's get this over with.” My eyes bucked as she began to unbutton my khakis. “Shrimp cock probably won't last a…” she abruptly stopped talking as my pants hit the floor. “What was that you were saying?” I asked. “Holy fuck!” Kendall exclaimed, “there is no fucking way that this is real!” “Oh but it is,” I said evilly, “and I believe I was promised a reward for keeping quiet…” “But,” She stammered, “I've never seen a cock so huge.” “Hmm…” I pondered tauntingly, “I don't hear how that's my problem. I'm simply waiting on you to fulfill your end.” “But I can't…” she whined, obviously both impressed and nervous. “Oh well,” I said nonchalantly as I began to pull up my pants, “It'll be nice seeing you still as freshman next year.” “Wait!” she shouted as she grabbed my waistband, “I'll… I'll suck you off…” I nodded as she stroked it slowly, licking off the forming precum before licking down my whole length. She then opened wide and took me inside. She easily fit half of me down her throat before digging her nails into my ass cheeks and plunging the rest of me inside. Finding I still hadn't cum, she gagged and pulled back, her boobs heaving. Instantly, I pulled off her top and began rubbing the hard nipples. “Hey!” she shouted, “that… isn't… a part… of our deal.” I stopped and reached for my pants again but she finally consented and I began to fondle them again. She began moaning as I sucked them, laying back onto the bed as I flicked them with my tongue. She then kissed me warmly as she removed her pants and my shirt. I kissed each tit before moving to eat her out and she soon began to moan louder. “Yes Kyle…” she moaned as she gripped my hair, “eat my pussy.” I couldn't believe it. I had the most sought after girl in school begging for me to eat her pussy. I flicked my tongue against the clit, moving in slow clockwise circles getting her turned on even more. “Oh yes Kyle! Fuck, your tongue feels as big as your cock!” Kendall groaned as she squeezed her boobs, “Oh god, please don't stop. I'm almost there!” With one final deep lick, she exploded all over my face and the sheets, grinding her cunt into my face. I kept licking, up and down and side to side, making her cry out loudly. “Kyle!!!” Kendall screamed until I letup, falling back in exhaustion . “That was the best fucking orgasm of my entire life,” she panted. I watched her amusingly as she ate her previous insulting words. She leaned forward and took my cock into her mouth again. Her bobbing sped up and I moaned as she slurped loudly on my prick. She then pulled up and spit on it, vigorously jerking it off. She gave a final lick and straddled me, torturing me by sliding her slick pussy lips up and down my cock. “Do you want to fuck me Kyle?” Kendall asked. I looked into her eyes and saw she wasn't asking as a joke. But in a sense of urgency. She wanted me to say yes. “Yes Kendall,” I replied, “I do.” She smiled and slid me into her. Fuck, was she tight. I moved my hands to cup her soft and squishy tits, sucking her round areolas. As she began to bounce, we moaned together, kissing intently. “Oh Kyle,” she moaned as she bounced, “you feel so fucking huge!” I grabbed her hips but didn't slow her rapid bouncing, sucking and pinching her tits. I put her ass in a firm grip and she cried out as she went faster, her ass slamming into my thighs. I then flipped her over and began fucking with all the intensity I could gather. “Yes Kyle!” Kendall screamed as she held her tits, “God yes! Fuck me!!!” She pulled my head down to kiss her as my balls slapped against her ass. “Damn it! Pound that fat cock into me!” Kendall screamed before I tightly held both her hips and began fucking her like there was no tomorrow. “You're glad you stayed now aren't you?” I grunted. “Holy shit…” she moaned as I groped her bouncing tits, “there's no where I'd rather be…” Encouraged, I picked up speed, watching my cock slam into her wet hole. She screamed as she dug her fingers into her tits, turning me on even more. The impact from our bodily collisions increased in pace and we both cried out together. “I can't last much longer,” I moaned and I began to pull out. However, she wrapped her legs around me and gave me an intent look before pulling to kiss her. She screamed into my mouth as she began to cum, tightening so hard around my cock I had no choice but to let go, filling her insides with my seed. She began throwing herself into me, prompting me to keep firing. At long last, I stopped cumming, the two of us kissing all over one another. “I never knew getting fucked could feel so good…” she said as she laughed. I chuckled along with her and lay back, staring at the ceiling. I was amazed as I felt her mount me again. “What about the party?” I asked. “What about it?” she asked as she began to ride, “I want you to tutor me Kyle. You can tutor in Latin for all I care. As long as I get fucked. That way you can fulfill your end with Hutchinson and I get my itch scratched. Deal?” “I'd be crazy not to accept.” I replied to which she smiled and we fucked yet again. - After I came inside Emily for the 5th time the next day, my phone chimed. Emily smirked, “Kendall again?” However, the phone kept chiming. All texts from cheerleaders. And they all said the same thing: by MarshalMarmont1815 for Literotica

Philosophy passage got you spiraling? In this CARS Reading Skills Workshop, Molly and Jack unpack the “Wittgenstein and Mathematics” daily passage (Sept 17) and show you exactly how to read dense, abstract prose without panicking.- How to anchor yourself on clear sentences (and ignore the “interesting nonsense” that isn't testable)- The core claim: mathematics = a kind of logic built on rules — and why that repeats (so it's the main idea)- Early vs. later Wittgenstein: from one monolithic language → many language games (each with its own rules)- How to track shifts between language, logic, and math without getting lost- When to slow down, when to move on, and how to extract the main idea fastPro tips covered:-Use contrast/qualifiers (“in fact,” “later,” “still”) to spot high-yield sentences-Treat ultra-dense lines as support, not the thesisBefore you watch:Read the Sept 17 daily passage: https://jackwestin.com/daily/mcat-practice-passages/cars-practice-passages/wittgenstein-and-mathematics⁠Want to learn more?

Starting a microschool comes with incredible joy—but it also comes with the pressure of making everyone happy: parents, students, even your staff. If you've ever felt the weight of parent expectations on your shoulders, this episode is for you. In today's conversation, I'm pulling back the curtain on how new founders can manage parent pressure without burning out. We'll talk about: ✨ Why boundaries are essential for your sanity and your school's success ✨ How proactive communication reduces conflict and builds trust ✨ The reality that confidence doesn't come overnight—it grows with systems, support, and consistency ✨ Practical ways to onboard parents, clarify expectations, and foster community involvement And most importantly, I'll remind you that you are not alone. What if you had a community of founders who reminded you that you're not crazy for doing this—and helped you do it well? That's exactly why I created Microschool Masterminds and the Open House Playbook. These resources are designed to give you the clarity, tools, and encouragement you need to lead with confidence.

Struggling with Chemistry & Physics on the MCAT? You're not alone. Most students panic at ChemPhys passages, skip data figures, and waste time on equations. This episode breaks it all down: passage personalities, the TAUT method, and how to avoid the most common mistakesthat cost you points.Molly and Mike walk you through physics setups, titrations, spectroscopy, biochem-heavy passages, and even why OChem doesn't need to be scary. You'll also learn how to prioritize what to study, when to trust the passage over your memory, and why “slow is smooth, smooth is fast” for ChemPhys.

Student collaboration is a powerful tool for learning in many contexts, and we read a meta-analysis that highlights the benefits to both the givers and receivers of help in peer tutoring situations. It seems to be almost categorically good… but the details of successful programs remain elusive. Later, we read about how group structure predicts student creativity. How do we teach processes that prepare students to be ready to be independent when creativity matters most?

So you have started dental hygiene school and have already begun to feel a bit overwhelmed by how much information you have to learn right out of the gate. There is so much information coming at you so fast that it can easily begin to feel like you are lost in the basics.In this episode, I cover some of the very basics at the beginning of dental hygiene school that begin to make students feel stuck right at the beginning. Give yourself some grace, you have never done this before! Take action steps to learn things and stick with it. Things will get better and you will get better at learning. Enjoy the opportunity to try something new that you have dreamed about.

Struggle to tell what really matters in CARS passages that feel “straightforward but wordy”? In this Reading Skills Workshop, Jack and Molly walk through the “Polygamy” Jack Westin Daily (Sept 10) sentence by sentence to show you how to extract the thesis fast and avoid over-reading.- Identify the core claim: Traditional polygamy is morally objectionable because it embeds inequality.- Contrast with monogamy: why monogamy can be reformed to equality (power can be redistributed).- Track the two big inequality threads in polygamy:1. Commitment imbalance (central vs. peripheral spouses)2. Control over the wider family (who gets a say across subfamilies)-Use contrast cues (“in contrast,” “unlike”) to flag high-yield sentences.-How to read confidently when ideas repeat without tuning out crucial examples.Before you watch:Read the Sept 10 “Polygamy”: https://jackwestin.com/daily/mcat-practice-passages/cars-practice-passages/polygamy00:01:57 — Paragraph 1: No key arguments - Polygamy controversial 00:06:57 — Paragraph 2: Monogomy can be reformed, Polygamy can't be equal!00:10:50 — Paragraph 3: Marriage should be equal, Monogomy can redistribute power0:15:53 — Paragraph 4: Repetition: Polygamy can't be equal!00:20:10 — Paragraph 5: Using Context: Central vs Peripheral Spouses are unequal00:25:14 — Paragraph 6: Repetition: Polygamy can't be equal!

Struggling with MCAT Physics? Forces, energy, and power intimidate students but they don't have to. In this episode, Mike and Molly break down Newton's laws, friction, springs, conservation of energy, and power in a way that actually makes sense. From elevators to ramps to rolling balls, you'll see why these topics are the foundation of physics and how mastering them can unlock half of the physics questions on your MCAT.

For six years, I've poured my heart into building a microschool—creating a place of freedom, belonging, and personalized learning. My daughters were the reason I started this journey. And yet, today, neither of them are with us at our microschool. In this episode, I open up about: My daughter's transition from a small, nurturing microschool environment into the overwhelm of middle school. My other daughter's leap from being “homegrown” in our microschool to navigating the struggles of public school—and what that has meant for our family. The stress, meltdowns, and dysregulation kids face when systems don't meet their needs. My personal reflections as a mom and a school founder—what I would have done differently, and what I'm learning now. This conversation isn't just my story—it's for every parent torn between options, every teacher leaving a broken system, and every microschool builder wondering if they're enough. You'll hear not just the heartbreak, but also the hope of finding the right support systems and building something better for our kids. ✨ You are not alone in this. Together, we're navigating school choices with courage, conviction, and community.

Behind every thriving microschool is a leader who is juggling 1,000 spinning plates — curriculum, enrollment, parent communication, staff management, and personal life. In this candid behind-the-scenes episode, I'm sharing the honest truth about what's actually saving my sanity right now as a microschool founder…and what's not. You'll hear the daily routines, systems, and decisions that keep me grounded, plus the areas where I'm still struggling. From communication systems that finally work to the non-negotiables I've built into my week, I'm laying out the real practices that keep burnout at bay. If you've ever wondered, “Am I the only one feeling this way?” or “How do I hold it all together without losing myself?” — this episode is your reminder that you're not alone, and that building the right routines and systems will free you to lead with confidence and clarity.
