This semester, Veritas Tutors was 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 engaged in weekly seminars with Andrew Magliozzi, Founder of Veritas Tutors. The general topic of these seminars was be education, entrepreneurship, and disruptive technologies.
As usual, we recorded and shared these lessons freely with the world. Without further ado, here are the lessons:
