Philip Lloyd has been a very successful mathematics teacher in New Zealand since 1967.

Philip's personal guiding principle or philosophy: 
To teach Mathematics using REASONS not RULES.
Mathematics must not be taught as “a set of rules to follow”. 
It needs be taught with real understanding.

There is a big difference between: 
“Knowing” a thing and “Understanding” it.

To INSPIRE students the secret is......ENTHUSIASM!
A teacher needs to be enthusiastic all the time!
  ENTHUSIASM IS CONTAGIOUS!
  ENTHUSIASM CREATES ENERGY!
  ENTHUSIASM IS THE KEY TO SUCCESS IN EVERY ACTIVITY!
