Richard Feynman on 1-to-1 Teaching

Post date: Jan 19, 2014 6:26:34 AM

Richard Feynman too believed that there is nothing better than a direct individual relationship between a student and a teacher.

From his preface to Feynman Lectures in Physics:

"I think, however, that there isn’t any solution to this problem of education other than to realize that the best teaching can be done only when there is a direct individual relationship between a student and a good teacher—a situation in which the student discusses the ideas, thinks about the things, and talks about the things. It’s impossible to learn very much by simply sitting in a lecture, or even by simply doing problems that are assigned."
