I teach by practice, as there is no better way to learn. This is the same technique I used to get into Imperial. By encouraging students to complete as many past papers and questions as they can and, crucially, self-marking their questions, they are able to make quick progress to higher grades. I also work with students to challenge themselves complete questions that are harder than is required for their level. In this way they gain problem-solving confidence and increase scientific thinking that will help them across the board. In line with this, I encourage students to read and explore beyond the course, as inspiration and fascination will encourage them to learn.
