Matt-0 Teachings
This channel is about the intersection between teaching & learning, and wind/water sports.
I've been teaching ocean sports for over 20 years-- I've taught kitesurfing and windsurfing (mostly), sailing, surfing, and even SUP. Along the way I have developed a keen interest in the process of how people learn, and the best ways of teaching them.
I'm still learning myself-- every time I go out on the water, and with every student I teach, and with every bit of information i research or book I read.
School associations are:
www.windsurf-vietnam.com, and
www.sethawadikite.com
I'm happy if I can learn something, and happy if someone else can.
