This semester, Veritas Tutors is fortunate enough to have three dedicated interns from the Harvard Graduate School of Education helping out with pedagogic research and development. As part of their weekly commitments, one of these interns will engage in weekly seminars with Andrew Magliozzi, Founder of Veritas Tutors. The general topic of these seminars will be education, entrepreneurship, and disruptive technologies.
As always, we will be recording and sharing these lessons freely with the world. Without further ado, here goes:
