The Tutor Bible: Learning to Learn Again
Description:
Based on Ian Siegel’s 15,000+ hours of 1-on-1 tutoring experience over the last decade, the Tutor Bible exposes a reality hiding in plain sight: school doesn’t serve our educational needs in the 21st century. Through a historical, psychological, and philosophical analysis, the Tutor Bible sheds light on a better way of educating our students - one that excavates students from cycles of self-judgment reinforced by grade inflation, social media, and college admissions and thereby allows students to learn at their potential. In this sense, The Tutor Bible isn’t a book reinforcing a national talking point around how tutoring could make up for learning loss caused by COVID-19. Instead, it discusses in plain terms how the pandemic has exposed what students have known for decades: that school sucks. Learn the secrets of what Ian calls savant tutoring, a form of instruction and mentorship grounded in bringing out the inner brilliance in every student, and use that deeper understanding - whether you’re a parent or an educator - to make your student great.
