A Harvard Neurobiology graduate and former management consultant who went on to study medicine at King’s, Martin sees learning as exploration and teaches students how to learn.
Martin graduated magna cum laude from Harvard University with a BA in Neurobiology, then worked as a management consultant in the US for three years before beginning graduate-entry Medicine at King’s College London.
Martin taught his first public speaking class at 17 and has sought out teaching and mentoring in everything he does. He worked as a public speaking and debate instructor at a public school for two years, ran communication and argumentation workshops for teachers, and was curriculum lead at two international debate camps. As a consultant he mentored new analysts and taught quantitative modelling and Excel, and in London he has coached students through Debate Mate’s after-school programme.
Martin sees learning as exploration and experimentation. Looking at how knowledge was first discovered makes content relevant and engaging, and real understanding tends to follow curiosity and perseverance. As every student is different, he puts a strong emphasis on learning how to learn and finding the best approach for each person.
