Should have gone to Pooley's Flying Instructor School. They teach you how to construct your lessons from the start so you can teach anything.

Here we go; remember a lesson is in 3 parts. The beginning, middle and the end. The beginning includes the title and what you are about to tell your students. The middle consists of the material itself. The middle can be broken down into sub-parts to form a logical sequence. The end is the conclusion which will tell your audience what you have just told them, this reinforces their learning.

Try and include 'open' questions. This means a question that does not get a single word answer such as "yes" or "no". In order to get an open question start it with a word that starts with a W, such as "what, why, when, where etc.. and this provides confirmation to you that your student has understood.

Finally, practice; in the mirror, to your dog, it doesn't matter. But, if it takes you 20 minutes to recite it to yourself it will take 40 minutes to do it in real time. In other words double the amount of time it takes for you to practice it.

Hope this of help and good luck.
