The ideas behind Kuriosity — what we believe about teaching, and why we built this the way we did.
Throughout my path — as a high school teacher, later as a university lecturer, and even back when I was a student myself — I came to see that what separates failure from success in a course is, in most cases, not the complexity of the material, but something else entirely. In other words: it's not about what you learn, but how you learn.
Complex material can be taught well, broken down piece by piece in the hands of a skilled teacher. And conversely, material that looks simple can become confusing and fail to stick in the hands of a poor one.
In the first stage, a trainer checks which weights suit the trainee — what their weaknesses are, where the weak muscles and old injuries are. That's the starting point. The trainee can lift weights, the ability is there, but it isn't developed enough yet. Sometimes he's tried training on his own the wrong way, building habits that never let him reach his full potential.
The trainer knows that too heavy a weight at the start will make the trainee collapse and get frustrated, while too light a weight won't bring results either. So he starts methodically — building a plan, setting goals — so that soon the trainee starts seeing results and lifting heavier weights.
