After a successful launch in the fall of 2023, GOAT Tutors founder William Mattison recognized some untapped potential within the platform.
“I meet with these educators every day, and am always awestruck by their expertise in their subject areas and their excitement for engaging students with digital tools,” Mattison said. “When I sent out a call for extended outcome based workshop ideas, the responses flooded in!”
These virtual workshops are the perfect way to support any learner’s needs, whether by enrichment or remediation.
“My second grader, Gus, attends an amazing public elementary school, and he happens to be gifted in math,” Mattison said. “I try to extend his learning personally, but I can only do so much. With our workshops, a student like Gus can have a set number of hours with a math genius, working towards a specific, standards-based outcome to nurture his individual skills.”
GOAT Tutors Virtual Workshops can also be a quick way to diagnose learning challenges and efficiently get students back up to grade level. The growing number of workshops offered include: “Mental Math: Become a Human Calculator,” “Amy’s Verbal Section Bootcamp” for Test Prep and “Time-Capsule Chronicles: A History Enrichment Expedition.”
“I’ve always felt that the key to student engagement is genuine excitement about the content from the teacher, it’s contagious,” Mattison said. “These virtual workshops allow for truly individualized learning that students can be excited about!”
