This same concept applies to poker coaching. Unlike the former, the latter was something with which I had current experience at the time.
I would not have been a good fit to teach at that level because that was not where I gained my day-to-day experience.įor example, I obviously know which numbers are even and which are odd, but I would have had a harder time explaining why even numbers are even to an elementary student than I would be explaining why prime numbers are prime to a middle school student. This helped me to answer most questions that my students had about the material.Īlthough I excelled at elementary school math when I was a student, I had not seen much of that material since I was a kid. I started my teaching career at the middle school level.įor a time, I was totally immersed in middle school math on a daily basis.
