Ep258. ft. Susan Grimes - Beyond the Screen: Online Tutoring, AI & What Students Really Need to Succeed (Part 2)

Students have instant access to answers. But access to answers is not the same as learning. In Part 2, Susan Grimes and Mike take the conversation beyond online tutoring and confront a bigger question: What do students actually need to thrive in an increasingly digital education system? From instant gratification and declining patience to standardized testing, test anxiety, AI, critical thinking, handwriting, note-taking, and human connection, this episode examines what technology can improve—and what it can never replace. Susan also shares why AI should be treated as a resource rather than a substitute for educators, what future online tutors will need to remain effective, and why slowing down and listening to students may be one of the most powerful interventions available. Because education cannot simply be about producing the correct answer. Students need to understand the process, develop confidence, think critically, make mistakes, and learn how to persist when the answer doesn’t arrive instantly. 🎧 Listen to Part 2 and rethink what meaningful academic support should look like in the age of AI.
