  scorebeyond

  • Palo Alto, CA

  • Director of Tutoring and Pedagogy

    • Mar 2017 - Sep 2017
    • Palo Alto, CA

    Scorebeyond is an EdTech start-up that uses learning science, data, and online tutoring to prepare students for standardized tests like the SAT and ACT. As students complete in-app practice questions, subsequent practice is tailored to their level so they can find the “just right” level of difficulty. Students regularly meet with their tutors, who help them understand strategy, build stamina, and increase their test-taking confidence. Acquired by LinkedIn in 2018. As Director, I developed the tutor-facing dashboard for Scorebeyond's data-driven tutoring approach and coordinated management of tutors, standardization of tutoring sessions, and creation of materials; I also leveraged our partners, the Bjork Lab at UCLA and Lasting Learning, to develop and implement a 10-module onboarding/training process on research-based learning pedagogy for use by tutors.
