I deliver on the promise of intuitive learning, and the neuroscience backed concepts of "mental representations". I teach students to gain develop a feel for the concepts, such that they can visualise them mentally, with ZERO reliance on memory or learned. This allows students to face completely foreign questions, and simply build up their answers from scratch, using "first principles". It has been proven that no matter how complex a concepts, it is ALWAYS just a culmination of dozens of simpler concepts; the more complex the concept, the more simpler concepts that need stacking. This is the approach that I exploit with my students, with great success; I have taught photography students to perform differential calculus within a day. My belief is that truly understanding concepts is far easier than remembering them, whilst remaining significantly more effective too.
I am also a strong advocate for testing the skill that is trying to be learnt, and by this I mean, the student MUST attempt questions, not just learn concepts. A dense question bank, with varying contexts, variables and scenarios, will force a student to isolate the core skill being tested. There is no point becoming theoretically excellent with no ability to execute. Therefore, this becomes the standard by which my students are measured.
