Guest: Rohen Shah
We’ve all heard it: “If you want to truly learn something, teach it.” But does the research support this idea?
In this episode, economist and educator Rohen Shah shares his insights on why teaching others may be the most effective learning strategy—especially for students and self-learners. Based on evidence from real-world applications, including platforms like Khan Academy, we explore how peer instruction and active explanation enhance understanding and retention.
🎯 Topics include:
