I still do the other things. I'm just also making a broader but somewhat smaller impact across many more. And the pool for the students who will best benefit from my time making a deeper connection and ending up in a more intensive program with me is much larger, improving the odds of "good matches". There are some economies of scale and ancillary benefits, too. I can teach 15 competitive math kids about 40-50% of what I can teach two in the room in the same block of time. (And some students benefit even more being 1-of-15, because e.g. * think-pair-share is really, really powerful for recall and internalizing knowledge * because an excited classroom of 15 often draws more effort out of students than one-on-one engagement * because there are more "kinds of solutions" in the room and we can celebrate the remarkably varied approaches
