I learned that there are different types of students such as noisy, quiet, disruptive, intimidator's and procrastinators, I learned how each of these types behave which gives me better insight on how to address each student and make sure they stay on task.

I also learned that giving feedback to students is crucial for them to build confidence.

In addition to that, I learned that even if I feel knowledgeable on a subject, there is still more information and skills I will need to learn in order to be a successful instructor.
