Dr. Kelly Frindell on remote tutoring, entrepreneurship, and the future of AI in education

S1 E1 • Apr 10, 2025 • 31 mins

Dr. Kelly Frindell discusses entrepreneurship, starting a business during the 2008 financial crisis, and improving student performance in test prep. The conversation explores online tutoring, AI in education, demographic changes, and technology's role in adapting to uncertain times.

Key Points

  • The lack of basic skills, rather than test anxiety, is often the real issue for students who struggle with standardized tests, especially in the wake of COVID-19 learning loss.
  • AI tutors hold the potential to democratize education by providing individualized, customized learning experiences for students who may lack access to traditional education resources.
  • The future of education and test prep is highly uncertain due to demographic shifts, test-optional policies, and the evolving role of technology, necessitating adaptability and readiness to pivot in the industry.
