Education

BA, Dartmouth: Government MA, Columbia/NYU: American History & Foreign Policy I've learned the most from being an award-winning educator for 25 years. I've learned by inspiring over 2000 students to become success stories as they discovered how to learn more in less time. I've learned by developing my own study skills system, called "The M.A.V.E.R.I.C.K. Way": Mastery through Active, Verbal, Explaining & aRguing with Intense focus that Connects Knowledge.

Experience

Green Mind™ Academic Coaching, LLC 30 years of award-winning teaching in grades 8-12 (history/government/social sciences) Over 2000 student success stories: More learning, less doing, faster. Get better at getting better. Author of two books: Learn the M.A.V.E.R.I.C.K. Way and 19 Intense Focus Methods to Help You Learn More in Less Time Developer of a uniquely transformative study skills approach called the M.A.V.E.R.I.C.K. Way: Mastery through Active, Verbal, Explaining & aRguing with Intense focus that Connects Knowledge. The Supreme Collection of Study Tactics — Devastatingly Effective Study after study shows most students “do” their work instead of “learn” their work. “Doing” is “Gray Effort”—low-thinking memorization, passive reading and re-reading, often while distracted, with information soon forgotten. MAVERICK is “Green Effort”—purposeful, targeted actions for long-term learning, faster. Even top students often believe the price of good grades is exhausting hours, simply working harder. There’s a better way. The MAVERICK Way is about working differently, working better. The MAVERICK Mindview: Anyone can improve when using an approach that fits how they learn best. I’ll help you find your own “Way”: the type of student you want to become and the specific actions you choose to get there. You’ll be set for any course, any challenge, from now through college—and beyond. 2019 University of Maryland Philip Merrill Outstanding Teacher-Mentor Award (given to 15 teachers from across U.S. I can help you transform yourself into a powerful learner through - Learn the MAVERICK Way: The Supreme Collection of Study Tactics - Intense Focus Methods - Gaining Strength from Stress: using stress as your ally, not your enemy - Advanced Placement US History Exam Prep: turn the hardest exam into the easiest

ABOUT MICHAEL CHELLMAN “Focus on the grades, we win, we lose. Focus on the student, we win every time.” When Michael Chellman greets his students, the unusual exchange amazes observers. He asks, “Are you doing your work?” They respond, “I never do my work!” Pull the students aside and they explain: “I never DO my work because I LEARN my work.” Michael Chellman is an award-winning teacher, most recently the 2019 University of Maryland Philip Merrill Outstanding Teacher-Mentor Award, given to 15 teachers across the U.S. He has 30 years of remarkable success in a range of schools: public, independent, co-ed, single-gender. From tiny rural schools to one of the largest public systems in the U.S., in grades 8 through 12, Chellman has helped every type of student enjoy more learning, less doing, faster. His view: “The worst advice is telling kids to ‘work harder.’ The Green Mind is about working differently, working better.”
