Notes on being an instructor | [ kenshi247.net ]

Some people relish the thought of finally becoming an instructor. For me all the gloss came off when faced with a class of people looking expectantly at me awaiting direction and maybe even (gasp!) advice as to how to they should improve. The sense of responsibility was massive. “I can hardly perform basics myself, how can I seriously teach others not that much less experienced than myself?” This article is an attempt to write down a few things that perhaps would have made my life a bit easier back then. I hope they will be of value to those who themselves are just starting out on the instructor’s journey.
