Send us Fan MailIn this episode of the SupportED Learning Podcast, Dr. Joe Sebestyen sits down with Gretchen Wegner, founder of the Anti-Boring Learning Lab and a former Fulbright Fellow, to break down why students say they study but bomb their tests—and what actually works instead.Dr. Joe and Gretchen discuss what students and families need to understand about how the brain actually learns, including why highlighting and rereading feel productive but don't stick, how the Study Cycle system makes learning anti-boring and effective, what executive function struggles look like post-pandemic, and why mental health directly impacts study skills.This episode is especially useful for high school students preparing for AP exams, SAT, and ACT, parents frustrated watching their kid "study" without results, pre-college students building independent learning skills, and educators and tutors looking for a science-backed framework to teach study strategy.📲 Connect with them: https://www.linkedin.com/in/gretchen-wegner/Anti-Boring Learning Lab: https://antiboringlearninglab.com/College Prep Podcast: https://collegepreppodcast.com/work-with-gretchen/📲 Learn more about us: https://supportedtutoring.com/Facebook: Dr. Joe SebestyenInstagram: @dr_joe_ap_exams Thanks for tuning in to the SupportED Learning Podcast with Dr. Joe.
