John provides lessons for his students that encourage them to learn with confidence and develop their skills by asking questions instead of listening to lectures. He believes that teachers should provide their students with three things: the ability to assess accurately any situation they may encounter, the tools with which to deal with it successfully, and the pride and confidence to do so with excellence.
