Mary Elkess Boles graduated in pharmacy with excellent honours and is now completing an international PGCE, which puts her in the unusual position of studying how people learn while teaching the sciences she trained in professionally.
Her students recognise her by her materials. She draws her own illustrations, writes notes to the pace of the student in front of her, and follows each topic with questions that expose whether the idea has stuck. Pharmacy supplies the examples, from how a drug is absorbed to why a formulation fails, and 22,000 hours of teaching have given her the timing to know when a student needs another explanation and when they need a past paper.
