Ep257. ft. Susan Grimes - The Power of Online Tutoring: Why Personalized Support Helps Students Thrive (Part 1)

What if a struggling student doesn’t need another lesson—but someone who finally sees how they learn? In Part 1, Mike sits down with Susan Grimes, founder of Tutoring with Ms. Susan LLC, to explore why personalized online tutoring can uncover learning gaps, rebuild confidence, and give students something crowded classrooms often struggle to provide: individual attention. From reading, writing, and math support to motivation, consistency, foundational skills, and parent communication, Susan explains what effective one-to-one tutoring actually looks like and why simply repeating the same material isn’t enough. They also confront a major concern for modern parents: Is online tutoring just more screen time? The answer reveals an important difference between passive digital consumption and purposeful, interactive learning. This conversation is for parents, educators, tutors, and anyone working with a child who has started saying, “I’m just bad at this.” Sometimes the problem isn’t ability. Sometimes the learner needs a different path. 🎧 Listen to Part 1 and discover what personalized education can accomplish when students are given the time, attention, and confidence to succeed.
