Have you discussed this with him? Perhaps he hasn’t noticed this and would be delighted to talk strategies. Perhaps he has a reason (good or bad) for doing as he does. (E.g., he may think that you’ll learn more effectively by finding effective strategies for yourself, and that pointing them out explicitly will stunt your development in the longer run.) Perhaps his understanding of effective strategies is all implicit and he can’t communicate it to you explicitly.
I’ve tried talking to him about it: he really does seem to possess only implicit understanding of what works and what doesn’t. Well, that, and it just doesn’t seem to occur to him, even upon my repeated requests, to lay out guidelines ahead of time.
