Profilo di Urashima Taro

English, 日本語

My name is Taro Urashima (浦島太郎).
 
My specialization is theoretical physics, and I teach mainly mathematics and physics. I also teach chemistry and English.

After having wandered abroad as a researcher, I settled myself in a local city in my home country, where I started my teaching career at a state university, besides my research life. After my retirement, I still enjoy teaching young folks.

You can enjoy science and mathematics only by studying them systematically. Studying things in the right order is the only way to understand the next. Your view is then continuously extended, step by step, to the ever developing world. It is the most enjoyable and, at the same time, the most efficient way of studying Math/ Science. I do hope that the youngsters will experience it.

★ Extensive teaching career
I have been teaching in one form or another for over 50 years. During my student years, I worked as an academic tutor at a major prep school and also helped many pupils on a private basis. While I was working at the university I was engaged in my research activity, but I also devoted myself to teaching. Many of my diploma/graduate students are making fine careers, either in the academic field or in the industry.

The lessons I offer on Cafetalk covers a wide range, accepting all ages of students, from elementary schools to universities. The lessons are adjusted to the individual needs.
   Specialized lessons are also organized for those who are attending to schools abroad or to internaional schools in Japan.
 
★ Teaching policy　
I consider teaching & learning to be the basis of human communication. To me teaching is of the same kind as performing collaborative research; the purpose is to reach mutual understanding.
   Japanese traditional education tends to focus on making children get used to use knowledges, rather than understand them. Some teachers focus on rather mechanical trainings, saying that one can scoop water even with a colander by accumulating droplets.
   That way one can hardly understand things properly. A real understanding is attained only through good mutual communications. 
Over time, learning will become progressively more interesting and efficient.


★ To prospective students, especially those preparing for university
During entrance exams, you will have to solve problems on your own. Trying to memorize how to solve them will not help you acquire this ability.
   Especially in science-related subjects, it is important to have a solid understanding of underlying concepts and to know the principles of how things work. When you are following someone's explanation on a certain issue, you will try to confirm carefully that the explanation is logically correct. But a logical confirmation is not a real understanding. If you find it difficult after a few days to reproduce what you have learned, it is not because you have forgotten, but simply because you had not yet got it.
   Many of the lessons I offer are concerned about this point. You can read more about it in my lesson description for “数学演習 (Practice in Mathematics).”

★ Good fascilities for online learning
I still enjoy collaborating online with young researchers.  My private lab is equipped with a set of computing fascilities (PC cluster) connected to a high-vision camera, as well as a sizable blackboard, all of which we share online while I conduct online seminars. This is also an ideal environment for online lessons. 
   In order to take advantage of this environment, you are kindly asked to use a suitable monitor during the lessons for a sufficient quality of the blackboard view (I recommend having a monitor at least the size of an iPad). I offer lessons via Skype or Zoom, but Skype has a higher resolution which enables you to identify even the smallest subscripts attached to the mathematical symbols written on the blackboard.
