I would love a day or two at your college..take some practicals so you could see how I teach. I have my very own style of coaching that I have seen work many times. -

I made college work for me (Houghal)...I emersed myself in my N.C Arb and especially the practicals and asked questions at every opportunity..I made sure I was ready by the time the course ended because in knew it was what I was born to do! It wasn't easy as the course leader was uninterested in us but I honed in on the good lecturers like the great Dave Bentley and went to him if I needed a specific answer.You have to instil confidence and most of all enthusiasm in students first in order for their minds to open like a sponge and absorb what they are taught. I was hungry to learn from day 1. -
Perfect.

Having my last night at Mr and Mrs Woodworks...it has a lot of bespoke touches but my favourite is the Staircase. And I am an expert on Banisters:rolleyes:
