What does it mean to school leaders and teachers to intersect students with what they need to achieve when the existing schedule already overwhelms teachers? When there is no time to catch students up or challenge ones far ahead, something must be done or the likelihood of losing those students to alternatives or dropping out is high. The dawning of change in the structure of schooling includes novel approaches to sourcing tutoring to overcome learning loss, absenteeism, behavioral issues, and expectations of full personalization for every learner. It used to be that easy scheduling was a difficult proposition – but no longer so with AI. In this discussion with Anthony Salcito, Chief Institution Business Officer with Varsity Tutors, Leilani learns about Varsity Tutors and their mission to help schools gain, without compromise, on their objectives by becoming a sourcing hub leveraging some 40,000+ tutors.

Elton Curtis has been working as an online tutor/teacher for the past 4 years, first as an ESL conversation partner through Cambly, then as an ESL tutor through iTutorGroup, and most recently as a tutor through Varsity Tutors. Elton is known for being quick to sing, and he has an infectious smile. In our conversation, we discuss some of the ways the ESL industry has started shifting in the past year and some of our shared experiences with one of the companies where we overlapped for nearly 3 years. We also chat about the importance of having a backup plan to fall back on when working as an independent contractor for some of these virtual companies as things can change quickly at times. There is a wide number of options available to people who do want to teach or tutor in the online setting, and it can be fun work with an opportunity to build rapport and relationship with the students you meet with on a regular basis; however, the students sometimes come and go as there is more and more competition for their business. Elton has worked online in several capacities but has settled on teaching as his lifelong goal, with public speaking as his passion. You can reach out to him for private tutoring for your loved ones or find him on Varsity Tutors and coming soon to Outschool. ***** Can't watch the video right now?

In early 2020 Varsity Tutors was the largest live learning platform in the U.S., connecting students and professionals with personalized instruction. Then the pandemic hit. After taking quick action to ensure business continuity, Varsity Tutors went back on offense: moving its core business entirely online, adding more small classes, and offering free live large classes. As customers flooded back Varsity Tutors kept innovating, with virtual summer camps, celebrity tutors, and School@Home – which can fully replace conventional schooling. In this conversation, Heidi Robinson, Chief Product Officer at Varsity Tutors and TCV Principal Beth Knuppel discuss how to “predict the weather” in uncertain times, so you can develop the right products at the right time; principles for product design and development in an increasingly virtual world; how to rally and redirect talent into new responsibilities in a crisis; and much more.

Historium Unearthia: Unearthing History's Lost and Untold Stories
After the Revolutionary War, at a pivotal moment when Washington and Spain were fighting for control of North America, one American war hero deflected from honor and signed a secret allegiance with Spain. President Theodore Roosevelt said, "In all our history, there is no more despicable character.” Have you ever heard of James Wilkinson? DOWNLOAD NOW Credit: A huge thanks to New York Times bestselling author, Andra Watkins, whose new book I Am Number 13 pairs international aid volunteer Emmaline Cagney with the unsettled ghost of James Wilkinson—the former American general who’s stuck in an in-between world called Nowhere. I’m also grateful for the scholarly insight of James Lewis, a professor of history at Kalamazoo College.

Varsity Tutors is a Live Learning Platform that seamlessly connects experts and learners in any subject, anywhere, at any time. To date, students have accessed nearly four million hours of live instruction on the platform. Experts are available to meet in person or through the company's award-winning online and mobile platforms, which account for the majority of all sessions. The company has raised $107 million in funding from investors including TCV, Learn Capital and The Chan Zuckerberg Initiative. Varsity Tutors was founded in 2007 at Washington University in St. Louis. Kevin Gaugush from Varsity Tutors returns to my daily tech podcast. The last time we spoke, we learned about their mission to help people learn and their vision to seamlessly connect experts and learners in any subject, anywhere, anytime. I found myself inspired by their motto of forever learning and always growing. Recently the platform announced that they now offer Instant Tutoring in every high school and middle school subject. With Instant Tutoring, students can log on via mobile or desktop and be matched with a highly vetted expert in less than 10 seconds. Perfect for late night test prep or homework related questions parents may not know. "We're continuing to see momentum with Instant Tutoring because parents and students have seen firsthand the benefits of being able to connect with an expert in any subject right from your laptop or mobile phone. Instant usage is up triple digits year over year, with the bulk of demand coming from our middle and high school-aged students." The recent addition of 77 subjects brings Instant Tutoring to 216 subjects in total, making it the most robust on-demand tutoring service available to students and their families. The platform includes live video chat, a whiteboard, subject-specific tools like a document editor, and session recording and playback functionality.
Thanks to technology, much of the world as we know it now will be vastly different in just a few decades. Sixty-five percent of children entering primary school today will work in jobs that don’t yet exist. As careers become increasingly technology-focused, access to proper skills training will be essential. The skills we focus on acquiring must reflect our society’s future. Across the board, interest in STEM subjects is growing fast. STEM is growing quickly, especially in the Midwest of the U.S. According to findings at Varsity Tutors, interest in STEM is not only growing quickly across the U.S. but specifically in the Midwest. Their data revealed that the Midwest is showing more initiative than the traditional tech hubs (like San Francisco) in STEM skills development. Contrary to what people might think, leading tech hubs like San Francisco, Los Angeles, Seattle and New York City are actually not the main source of STEM education growth. In fact, the largest growth isn’t based in the Bay Area (which saw a 3% decrease in STEM tutoring from 2017-2018). Instead, it’s in the Midwest. Midwestern cities, for instance, saw 40% more growth year over year than the national average in computer science tutoring. The findings of these reports suggest that you don’t need to be in Silicon Valley to find work. Engineers and developers no longer need to be stationed in a traditional tech hub to find work in tech. With the shifting job market, tech workers can now live anywhere. I wanted to find out more about how AI and machine learning are continuing to change how Americans interact with technology, and how many are eager to learn more about the technology and how to apply it. On today's episode of this tech podcast, I chat with Kevin Gaugush from Varsity Tutors. I wanted to find out more about how Varsity Tutors' mission to help people learn and their vision to seamlessly connect experts and learners in any subject, anywhere, anytime. I found myself inspired by their motto of forever learning and always growing.
