Why Experts Can Make Terrible Teachers (And Who You Should Learn From Instead)

When learning a new skill, most people seek out experts. It seems logical—the gymnast who boasts about her Olympian coach or the student who insists on learning German from a native speaker.

But this approach has major flaws: Some experts excel despite poor learning methods, not because of them. Being great at a skill doesn’t mean they can teach, motivate, or coach others effectively.

The best teachers prove their value through the success of their students. So, when searching for a great teacher, don’t ask how skilled they are—ask how skilled their students have become.

It’s not magic. It's a habit; a mindset. And it’s one you can choose starting now.
