Making the extra effort to present your knowlege and skills at the beginning, to give students the confidence that you are real and can help them get to their goals. Learning about the students to find their goals and any special needs, without breaking a trust with them. Having respect for them as individuals and their unique learning methods. 

Seeing the format that the student sees, and being able to help them navigate because we are familiar with the system. Leading them through frustrations and keeping focused on the course itself, lots of possible distractions and "rabbit trails" if allowed. Time is critical to make all the deadlines and course requirements.
