Neil shares his evil genius with you in this episode explaining how, when you overturn your student’s expectations, difficulties and complexities so extensively that they sit there open-mouthed, it really makes your tutoring job worthwhile.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
Simplify. Simplify. Simplify.
Peel away the complexity and present the core of an idea.
Resistance exists when there is no clarity.
BEST MOMENTS
‘Sometimes the things that are the most stripped back and simplified have the greatest impact and help the students to move past the limits that they thought they had.’
‘I’ve actually been called an evil genius twice today by two students whilst sharing with them, in separate lessons, a simple idea that really allowed them to dominate the fretboard and produce cool-sounding improvised guitar solos.’
‘They had incontrovertible proof that it was simple and doable. Oooh, evil me!’
