LifeWorks Learning Center was founded by Jai Flicker, who fell into tutoring after college and eventually took over a tutoring program. The center focuses on providing academic support that goes beyond just academics, aiming to have a positive impact on students' lives. The name LifeWorks reflects this approach. The center has grown through word-of-mouth referrals and building relationships with school counselors. Jai's primary focus is on being effective in helping students, both in terms of academic performance and transformative experiences. He measures effectiveness through external indicators like grades and test scores, as well as internal indicators like aha moments and improved self-understanding. In this conversation, Jai Flicker discusses his approach to tutoring and how he helps students overcome test anxiety. He explains the fight or flight response and how it can affect students during exams. Jai shares his strategies for helping students understand and manage their anxiety, including using analogies and mindfulness techniques. He also discusses the transition to online tutoring during the pandemic and the challenges and opportunities it presented. Jai emphasizes the importance of building trust with students and creating a supportive learning environment. He also discusses his plans for the future of LifeWorks Tutoring.
