George Wildridge

I attended Choate Rosemary Hall, entered the University of Chicago as an applied mathematics major, and graduated with a degree in Creative Writing. Along the way I took extensive upper-level coursework in English, political science, philosophy, history, economics, and computer science. I am comfortable working across the full range of a student's subjects.

In my experience, students rarely struggle because they cannot understand what is in front of them. More often there are small foundational gaps underneath that have gone unnoticed and built up over time. The student cannot tell why things are not clicking, and their confidence suffers.

My job is to find those gaps and fix them. I am interested in why a student gets stuck, not only in what they got wrong. Once we find it, students start to trust their own ability again, and they need me less and less.
