Experience
I have taught Chemistry, Mathematics, Biochemistry, Physics and English for over 6 years now, to students of various ages, ranging from 7 to 24 years old. I focus very heavily on making sure that my students always understand a topic first before working on perfecting recall. The key with difficult subjects is developing analogy, metaphor and bringing those subjects into context, so that students can visualise the things they are trying to learn and remember.
