I'm excited to announce a new blog series on study habits and techniques. Unlike other tutors and educators who learn about these through YouTube videos and other posts, I go straight to the source: The Research. Everything you read in this series has volumes of research supporting its use. No gimmicks. No games. Just the truth about how the human brain and body work to produce learning.

Today I got among the best news that a professional tutor can get. A parent wrote, "She made an A on her math test! Thank you for your help and expertise!"

My first thought was, "Let's go get another one!"

Calling all parents and friends looking for a good tutor! I recently did a brief study on challenges that parents in the Boulder, Colorado area faced when trying to hire a good tutor. I looked at 55 posts on Nextdoor.com. Spoiler alert: continuity of service, specializations in advanced math and science classes, ability to relate to children, and ability to work with neurodivergent students all topped the list. I translated the findings into an 8-question guide for parents who are looking for tutors. Check these five-minute reads:
