About

Hello everyone! I'm thrilled to see so many of you interested in the original series (https://schoolhouse.world/series/733 )!Since some of you requested to have sessions at Asia-friendly times, here’s the series for you! CO-TUTORS I am not the only tutor who will be leading the series. Karinna F and G Tarun have been co-tutoring the other series for this with me. Unfortunately, Karinna F won’t be able to co-tutor in these Asia-friendly timings, since the timings are well over midnight for her. G Tarun will be joining me in co-hosting this series, although Karinna F has been doing a lot of the behind-the-scenes work for both of the series, and as the series goes on we expect the format to lean more towards discussion with other tutors and learners joining to talk. WHO CAN BE AN AUTODIDACT Self-directed learning has very little to do with the actual material you are studying, so it doesn't matter whether you are advanced or in a traditional school environment or studying for exams. This is us sharing the skills on how for you to manage your own learning, not what to learn. Anyone and everyone are welcome! A FEW EXAMPLE TOPICS The science behind how your brain learns best (and worst!). How to find a community of like-minded learners. How to use active recall and cycled practice while studying. How to build your own curriculum and stick to it. Our experiences & self-directed learning journeys and what we have picked up along the way Expect fun slides, rambled discussion, Pomodoro timers and much more!

About the Tutor

Hey everyone! I am Hafsah, a high school sophomore from India, studying advanced courses well ahead of my age. I'm really passionate about anything related to maths, CS and science. In my free time, I love to read, ski, research on random topics that catch my interest, do some cooking and learn new languages. I've taken the Digital SAT, with a superscore of 1530 (750 R&W, 780 Math). I'd be happy to help out with anything related to Math (from Pre-Algebra to Calculus), Science, Computer Science or SAT Prep. Excited to be a tutor here at schoolhouse, and I look forward to seeing you in my sessions!
