"I have teaching in my blood," Ian VanderBurgh says, and its no boast: his mother and all four grandparents were teachers. It's the perfect background for the director of the Centre for Education in Mathematics and Computing, in charge of Waterloos math outreach to high school and elementary students across Canada and around the world.
"There's no secret recipe to becoming a good teacher," he says. "I don't think you need to do anything really high-tech to make it work."
But he does have some tips. For example, don't try to get through too much material: "Pacing is an important part of teaching." Try to be approachable, keep your door open, learn students names. Read body language: it can teach you a lot, including who's with you, and who's been left behind.
But in the end, he says, "just showing my passion for mathematics and my passion for teaching - those are the things that really inspire students."

I had Ian and he was amazing.
The only thing more funny than his lectures is watching this video with the "transcribe audio" feature on :)
