EXAM COURSES LEAD

Dr. Dau was born in Birmingham, UK and went on to study Medicine at St. Mary's Hospital Medical School, Imperial College, London, also earning a BSc. From the University of London. Coming from a relatively poor part of the UK, he taught himself how to learn and achieved some of the best academic results his school had seen.

Dr. Dau has had a lifelong interest in teaching, having taught many medical students, junior doctors, family practice residents and nurse practitioners over the years.

He believes that education holds the key to happy, productive lives for ourselves, our children and the communities we live in. He continues to have a fascination in maximizing our memories for learning, as he studies as a physician and lifelong learner. At the age of 12, he found himself wondering how he was supposed to remember poisson, in French, meant fish, in English? This question started his journey into learning about learning.

He developed the basis of the techniques we now use at The Art of Smart.
