- Each time you run into any new information, add it to the notes.
- Take notes in an organized way.
- After all the above steps, study the concept.

4. Identify the gaps:
- If you are able to make the concept clear to yourself and the person or child you try to teach, kudos!
- If not, don’t worry. Try to identify the gaps.
- Go back to your textbooks, notes, or other resources to research the areas where you struggled to explain the concept. This can help you fill in any gaps in your understanding.
- Continue following this four-step process until you can explain the concept in simple, easy-to-understand terms to anyone.
