If you forget how you look, and don't think about what your students will think about you, and just concentrate on how much you want them to learn, everything will be fine. On a purely practical note, always try to explain things a different way if people are having trouble getting it. And never give up; everyone can learn, it just sometimes takes awhile to find the key.Cynthia Newcomer Danielhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06644821559839047113noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1605560048689879708.post-84789924996926417382010-10-10T12:46:31.125-07:002010-10-10T12:46:31.125-07:00Sandy...you just jump in the deep end and swim for...Sandy...you just jump in the deep end and swim for your life :) It's a good question....I think the first rule is 'be prepared'. A good set of instructions with lots of great illustrations and photos will make your class go a lot smoother, sometimes to the point that you feel redundant :) But your job is to be there for the tricky parts, demo them and help each person with what they find difficult.Mikkihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14939739757623364406noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1605560048689879708.post-13701584415420752002010-10-10T10:06:24.801-07:002010-10-10T10:06:24.801-07:00You guys are a bunch of teasers!
Thanks for creat...You guys are a bunch of teasers! <br />Thanks for creating the "Bead Mavens" it is good for all of us. I admire your ability to teach. Although I have been asked to teach and have done so one on one, it absolutely terrifies me to think of teaching a whole class! How do you get past that and how do you become a GOOD teacher?Sandy Spiveyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13613502224834086412noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1605560048689879708.post-62993914279423594302010-10-10T08:55:54.087-07:002010-10-10T08:55:54.087-07:00I would so love to take all of your classes!

There are no bead shops offering classes anywhere near me & I'm a visual learner, so teaching myself new techniques can be very frustrating!Annahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10503148560467118087noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1605560048689879708.post-82753672525628813652010-10-10T08:32:57.543-07:002010-10-10T08:32:57.543-07:00I love learning so I am so glad you all teach!
