I've Taught Python for Years — Here’s What It Taught Me About Learning Anything Faster
Discover the 5 lessons teaching Python revealed about how people truly learn—master coding faster, think deeper, and never stop improving your skills.
I’ve been teaching now all around the world for over the last eight years. From Scuba Diving in Bali and Thailand, to English in Vietnam, and to Programming in the classroom and online.
When I first started teaching in general, I thought my job was just to explain how something works, things like english grammar or Python syntax and libraries.
Basically, all the stuff that comes to most peoples mind when they pick up a new hobby or interest.
My experience puts me in a unique position as I’ve taught people from all ages all from different backgrounds and cultures.
These three factors influence heavily the way we learn and absorb information, but some of the same lessons can be applied to everyone that help learning something new click.
Each week, I dive deep into Python and beyond, breaking it down into bite-sized pieces. While everyone else gets just a taste, my premium readers get the whole feast! Don’t miss out on the full experience – join me today!
So after years of teaching, I realized that teaching isn’t really about the language or topic itself. It’s about understanding how people actually learn. In trying to help others get it, I ended up learning it in a completely different way myself.
Every student, every mistake, and every “oh, now I get it” moment changed the way I think about learning.
If you’re looking for your own “oh, now I get it” moment, I’ll help you get there with some one-on-one coaching. Look into 1-on-1 coaching here.
What I’m sharing here are five lessons that teaching taught me and how this can be applied to Python to truly learn it—the kind of lessons that change not just how you code, but how you approach learning anything new.
