I am interested in this kind of topic, but came away disappointed. Not only is it long-winded, but also she never gave clear definitions of 'fluency' and 'understanding', which are the key ideas in the article.
I think the reason she has succeeded is quite simple: she is an avid learner. She has put in huge amount of effort into learning. It's not about some magic methods she discovered.
Carrying the formula f=ma in head all day long, thinking about it, practicing its various forms in different situations, that is not rote learning or simple repetition (as the author claims), it is working one's a$$ off to understand something.
