Instructors need to be comfortable working with different skill levels, age groups, and learning speeds. Of course, instructors need to have expertise in what they teach. As an instructor, it’s essential to have patience, to be an excellent listener, and to be comfortable providing feedback and constructive criticism. Having previous education or classroom teacher experience is helpful for getting started in this role.
