My tutor profile.

The NLN Materials are small, flexible 'bite-sized' episodes of learning. They are not whole courses but are designed to support a wide range of subject and topic areas. They have been funded by the LSC and are available free to all authorised organisations in the post-16 sector.

subjective science is the methodology by which we come to comprehend ourselves.

objective science is the methodology evolved over centuries to study objects, most recently developed over the last 200 to 400 years in the west.

some simple equivalences between the science of objects and the science of subjects: experiments v experience, facts v insights, knowledge v wisdom, absolute v relative, falsification v verification, logical v intuitive, predictive v unpredictable, simple v complex.

Feeling that my maths tutoring needed some more variety than the usual studying pages of revision guides and working through exercises and past papers, I decided to make some DIY teaching aids.
One summer I made a demonstration of Pythagoras’s Theorem out of painted plywood. I found this quite time-consuming, given my limited woodworking skills. After that, I made others out of white-fronted cardboard to demonstrate various principles of algebra and geometry. This proved to be easier to do.
