Tamara Smith

Starting with the big pictures and repetition.

I appreciated how to create groups and the boundaries with this.

In a world of people looking down at their phones, the reminder of eye contact is a good one. 

I appreciate the preview. Also the short blocks of learning and having clear goals for those blocks.

An appreciation for their nervousness and ways to help them feel comfortable.

Using a checklist is the most helpful thing an instructor can do to help ease the first-class nerves. 

I'm a checklist person so this was a good reminder I can this here as well. 

Modeling professionalism is important as it sets the tone. Also showing enthusiasm for the subject.
