I have learned throughout my teaching experience that, adult learners are more set in their ways than children going through school for the first time. As an instructor, you have to use varied methods of teaching to be able to reach the different styles of learning that adults have. You have to earn respect by being respectful to your students. What you put forth is what you will get in return. Being open to their suggestions, taking the time to learn their ways of learning and being able to adapt to differences as well as learning styles. Letting your students know that you are no different from them, but, your job is to make sure that they receive the knowledge that they will need to succeed and move forward in the careers that they have chosen.
