Here at Linder Educational Coaching we implement and try a variety of learning methods catered to each and every one of our students. Everyone learns differently and it's important to recognize how each student learns best so they can reach their full potential. In this excellent article from www.qz.com entitled ' A Nobel prize-winning physicist identified three simple steps to mastering any subject' one such learning method from Nobel Prize-winning physicist Richard Feynman is closely examined.

"Richard Feynman understood the difference between “knowing something” and “knowing the name of something,” and it’s one of the most important reasons for his success.' He goes on to explain that 'a lot of people tend to use complicated vocabulary and jargon to mask when they don’t understand something. The problem is we only fool ourselves because we don’t know that we don’t understand. In addition, using jargon conceals our misunderstanding from those around us.' He also touches upon the fact that 'competence is knowing the limit of your abilities."  Learn more about the Feynman Method of learning and how it can help your student, visit the full article here.
