Test Prep

Eva Addae - I'm thrilled to welcome Eva Addae back to the podcast. Eva is the Co-Founder and Co-Owner of Summit Prep, a tutoring company based in Summit, New Jersey. As you may recall, Eva was a guest on podcast #28 in December 2019, before the world turned upside down. Today we come back together to talk how the pandemic is affecting standardized testing and what those tests look like going forward as of now. If you have a child who is a junior or senior in high school, you're going to want to tune in for this episode. Eva and I have been talking about doing this episode since March, and we bring it to you today as there are more finalized details to share. Please do remember to reach out to Eva and look at the testing sites for up to date information as you progress on your testing journey. I encourage you to go back to episode 28 to hear more about Eva and her tutoring company's "whole person" approach - where they aim to show students love, respect, and empathy in order to cultivate their humanity as well. Eva is a graduate from the University of Chicago. Following some time in the corporate world, she discovered her passion for teaching when she led a few local students in achieving incredible success on their SATs & ACTs. Dissatisfied with the “one size fits all” approach to tutoring, Eva set out to create modern teaching methodologies, techniques and motivating systems that reflect the same process. Along with her business partner, David, they developed the company’s Adaptive Learning Indexes from over 20 years of past SATs & ACTs. A decade and hundreds of students later, she proudly boasts an average score increase of 8 points on the ACT and 220 points on the SAT. Her personal philosophy is “only by knowing how one learns can knowledge be imbued and the joy of education discovered.” Today we talk about standardized testing during the pandemic.

Om Podcasten

Let's Figure It Out is an inspirational place where you can hear the stories of every day people taking a leap. From the outside it might look like my guests achieved success easily overnight. But that's not the case. I'm going to take you behind the scenes so you can hear the real story and gain inspiration and encouragement, whether you're looking to switch jobs, change careers, feel supported as an entrepreneur, go on an adventure, or gain a new perspective to move your life forward. Let's Figure It Out features relaxed, soulful, brave conversations and also shorter podcasts I like to call…wait for it… "Shorts"…with me popping in solo to provide quick tips along the way. This podcast is in no way going to give you a roadmap for success. The closest you will get, is hearing us talk about how the secret to figuring out something is letting go, releasing and knowing the answers will come to you, even if you have a few missteps along the way. It's when we loosen the grip and have some fun that the struggle diminishes and the answers start to flow. My intention is to bring you fun, thoughtful, real conversations with leaders who figured out how to make a life change, and used their story to move themselves forward. This is Let's Figure It Out.
