Learning for Mastery

Students rarely get the training that sees them gain mastery over their subjects in school. This lack of mastery I deeply felt in higher education. Though my tutors praised my ‘gift’ for weaving together a logical set of arguments, I did not always get the highest mark in my essays. I had a loose grasp of English grammar. Students from other disciplines felt highly betrayed by their early schooling in others ways. In mathematics, gifted students came to realise that math was more than the rote learning of procedures and formulas. University maths required creativity, curiosity and logical thought. Capacities they had not sufficiently developed. So mastery is needed, you see.

Starting in September I will be offering classes for students ages 12-16 in English grammar and mathematics. Students will have a wonderful chance to learn through reason, experiment and problem solving alongside other kindhearted learners. It will be my aim to help students develop a mastery of both subjects. They can expect to develop into curious, creative and logical problem-solvers, who have a love for expression and thought.
