I tutor my own kids a lot so I can learn to build Synthesis tutor. The two biggest mistakes I make: 1. Throw too much at them at once. Almost always because I don’t realize how much knowledge is embedded in the concept I’m trying to teach. I think I’m teaching one thing, but…

One-on-one tutoring from an expert in a field used to be the norm for the aristocrats of the past. Though highly inequitable, it is still the best form of education, writes @erikphoel. And it’s how Erik taught his 3-year-old to read. thefp.com/p/i-taught-my-…
Erik Hoel retweeted
@TheFP @erikphoel I did the same with my two kids using old fashioned Dick & Jane books. Both were reading chapter books by the time they started kindergarten and it was fun!

Inspired by his historical research into education—and taking the hint from his son’s love of books—@erikphoel began teaching his 2.5-year-old to read. A year later, his son tested at a 3rd-grade level. thefp.com/p/i-taught-my-…

Give researchers more time to be researchers, not less, and they can go into their “labs” and do that most aristocratic of all scientific activities: play—the source of discovery.

@ryn_pblc Frankly, I suspect I haven't hit my level of incompetence yet. @erikphoel wrote this article that has stuck with me since reading it theintrinsicperspective.com/p/why-is-life-…
Erik Hoel retweeted
@TheFP @erikphoel A way to make tutoring affordable, is by tutoring the parent, who then teaches the children. My wife has been learning Latin from @Graham_Mark_E for a year now, while simultaneously teaching our 2 eldest (6 and 9yo)
Erik Hoel retweeted
@erikphoel On the one hand, yes. On the other hand, temporal continuity covaries with values and/but does not inherently provide it, as does discontinuity. The aliens are probably(???) overreacting/confused about how continuity of consciousness and value interact.

You can teach very little children to read. I did. You just need to pretend like you’re in the 1700s, writes Erik Hoel. thefp.com/p/i-taught-my-…
