    Episode 59 - Founder Of The Socratic Experience: What Real Education Looks Like For A Stifled Kid - Michael Strong

    Send us Fan Mail In this episode of the SupportED Learning Podcast, Dr. Joe sits down with Michael Strong—founder of The Socratic Experience, author of The Habit of Thought, and co-founder of the Conscious Capitalism movement—who argues that the school system isn't broken by accident. It's broken by design. Dr. Joe and Michael discuss what real intellectual education looks like and why it matters more now than ever, including why most schools build one habit above all others—compliance—why Socratic dialogue is a centuries-old cure hiding in plain sight, how he builds a student's entire education around what they actually love, why authentic work (real entrepreneurship, coding, creation) beats the manufactured passion projects families are told to chase for college, and what parents of a bored, gifted, or stifled kid can start doing at home today. This episode is especially useful for parents of gifted, twice-exceptional, or creative kids, families frustrated with conventional school, and anyone curious about Socratic and alternative approaches to education. 📲 Connect with them: https://socraticexperience.com/about/ Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@thesocraticexperience8100 Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/socraticexperience Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/michaelstrong1/ 📲 Learn more about us: https://supportedtutoring.com/ Facebook: Dr. Joe Instagram: @dr_joe_ap_exams  Thanks for tuning in to the SupportED Learning Podcast with Dr. Joe.

    Episode 58 - Brainscape CEO: The Better Way to Study for Exams - Andrew Cohen

    Send us Fan Mail In this episode of the SupportED Learning Podcast, Dr. Joe sits down with Andrew Cohen, founder and CEO of Brainscape—a smart-flashcard platform used by millions of students from AP through the bar exam—to explain why most of the studying kids do is a waste of time, and what the cognitive science says actually works. Dr. Joe and Andrew break down why highlighting and rereading feel productive but barely move retention, what active recall and spaced repetition really do, how "confidence-based repetition" turns studying into a kind of metacognition, why front-loading material before class supercharges learning, why note-taking is only the first step, the right way to cram without forgetting everything a week later, and why the rise of AI makes memorization more important, not less—because you can't connect concepts that don't already live in your head. This episode is especially useful for students preparing for AP or big cumulative exams, parents tired of watching their kids cram and forget, and anyone who wants their study time to actually stick. 📲 Connect with them: https://www.brainscape.com/ Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@BrainscapeNY Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/Brainscape Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/acohenny/ 📲 Learn more about us: https://supportedtutoring.com/ Facebook: Dr. Joe Instagram: @dr_joe_ap_exams Thanks for tuning in to the SupportED Learning Podcast with Dr. Joe.

    Send us Fan Mail In this episode of the SupportED Learning Podcast, Dr. Joe sits down with Dr. Cynthia Colón, who spent 25 years inside elite college admissions as a dean and school administrator and now runs Dream College Academy to help public school families access the insider knowledge private school families take for granted. Dr. Joe and Dr. Cynthia open up the "black box" of admissions, including what actually moves the needle when an officer reads an application, why the $40,000 college coaching industry is largely a scam, why the essay is the most under-coached lever in the entire process, how her team "excavates the gold" to find a student's authentic story, why admissions officers can spot a parent-written essay instantly, and why public school students can stand out against private school applicants.

    Episode 56 - Founder Of Magellan College Counseling: Why "Student-Led" Is The Secret To Admissions - Evelyn Jerome Alexander

    Send us Fan Mail In this episode of the SupportED Learning Podcast, Dr. Joe sits down with Evelyn Jerome Alexander—Certified Educational Planner, UC Berkeley instructor, and founder of Magellan College Counseling—whose whole philosophy treats college admissions as a family wellness challenge, not just a strategy problem. Dr. Joe and Evelyn discuss how to navigate admissions without fracturing the parent-child relationship, including why chasing prestige "bumper sticker" schools causes so much heartache, why the best-fit colleges are often ones families have never heard of, what "student-led, parent-supported" really means and how parents can get off the driver's seat without checking out, why she meets with students without parents in the room, her honest take on why she "hates passion projects," and what AI genuinely can and can't do on the college essay. This episode is especially useful for parents feeling the admissions pressure build, families of students who don't fit the conventional mold, and anyone who wants to get their kid into the right college without losing their relationship in the process. 📲 Connect with them: https://magellancounseling.com/ Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@MagellanCounseling/videos 📲 Learn more about us: https://supportedtutoring.com/ Facebook: Dr. Joe Instagram: @dr_joe_ap_exams  Thanks for tuning in to the SupportED Learning Podcast with Dr. Joe.

    Episode 55 - Carnegie Project Director: Why Education Reform Keeps Failing - Dr. Jill Perry

    Send us Fan Mail In this episode of the SupportED Learning Podcast, Dr. Joe sits down with Dr. Jill Alexa Perry—executive director of the Carnegie Project on the Educational Doctorate and the first full Professor of Practice at the University of Pittsburgh School of Education—for a conversation that's personal: Dr. Joe earned his own educational leadership doctorate at Pitt, where Dr. Jill was one of his professors. Dr. Joe and Dr. Jill discuss why education reform keeps failing and what real change actually takes, including why we habitually fix the symptom instead of the system, W. Edwards Deming's principle that "every system is designed to get what it gets," why the mountains of data schools collect often measure the wrong things, why one-off professional development rarely changes anything, and how AI is beginning to reshape the way we train the next generation of educational leaders. This episode is especially useful for educators and school leaders, anyone considering an EdD, and parents who want to understand why the system around their kid's school is so resistant to change. 📲 Connect with them: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jillalexaperry/ CPED: https://www.cpedinitiative.org/ 📲 Learn more about us: https://supportedtutoring.com/ Facebook: Dr. Joe Instagram: @dr_joe_ap_exams  Thanks for tuning in to the SupportED Learning Podcast with Dr. Joe.

    Episode 54 - College Insider: What Admission Officers Look For (Not Grades) - Mark Stucker

    Send us Fan Mail In this episode of the SupportED Learning Podcast, Dr. Joe sits down with Mark Stucker, founder of School Match 4 U, co-host of the Your College-Bound Kid podcast, and author of College Admission: 171 Answers, to unpack why so many families approach college the wrong way—chasing prestige instead of fit. Dr. Joe and Mark discuss what students and parents need to understand about the admissions process, including why the national counselor shortage (just 25 minutes per student over four years) leaves families lost, why chasing brand-name schools backfires, the difference between a "fit" school and "a name that plays well at the country club," why there are far more than 20 good colleges in America, what actually impresses admissions officers (it isn't more valedictorians), and whether families even need a private consultant at all. This episode is especially useful for parents of high schoolers starting the college search, families feeling pressure to chase prestige, and anyone trying to understand how admissions decisions really get made. 📲 Connect with them: https://schoolmatch4u.com/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/schoolmatch4u Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@Schoolmatch4uproducts/videos 📲 Learn more about us: https://supportedtutoring.com/ Facebook: Dr. Joe Instagram: @dr_joe_ap_exams  Thanks for tuning in to the SupportED Learning Podcast with Dr. Joe.

    Episode 53 - College Essay Mentor: What Colleges Want In An Application - Chris Hunt

    Send us Fan Mail In this episode of the SupportED Learning Podcast, Dr. Joe sits down with Christopher Hunt, a former Wall Street Journal and Economist journalist and founder of College Essay Mentor, to break down how students can write a personal statement that actually stands out—and sounds like them, not a robot. Dr. Joe and Chris discuss what students and parents need to understand about the college essay, including why the student (not the parent) has to lead, why the usual brainstorming approach is the wrong place to start, the journalist's "nut graph" trick for finding your one core message, why the popular advice to "just tell your story" is so hard to follow, how admissions officers spot AI-written essays instantly and why that can sink an application, and the realistic summer timeline every rising senior should follow. This episode is especially useful for parents of rising seniors, students staring down a blank personal statement, and any family trying to navigate the most stressful part of the college application. 📲 Connect with them: https://www.collegeessaymentor.com/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/CollegeEssayMentor/ Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@CollegeEssayMentor 📲 Learn more about us: https://supportedtutoring.com/ Facebook: Dr. Joe Instagram: @dr_joe_ap_exams  Thanks for tuning in to the SupportED Learning Podcast with Dr. Joe.
