I use lot of visuals and real world examples to drive the point home. I design instruction to suit the learner. The instruction materials I use to teach a middle school student will be very different from the materials I use to teach a college student. I designed instruction materials to train corporate employees taking into account the needs expressed by the appropriate officials of the corporation.

I usually define learning objectives for each session and try to make sure that these objectives are met. I will be seeking feedback from the learners after explaining concepts that are considered an essential part of learning. I usually keep track if the initial feedback I receive and make use of it to achieve further understanding of the comprehension level before I conclude each learning session. My experience taught me that seeking feedback immediately after discussing concepts/principles and also at the end of going through the whole lesson plan helps the learners to comprehend important facts and concepts.

Whenever I start instruction to a new learner or group of learners, I try to find out what topics motivate the learners and attract their attention. When I notice digression or reduced interest in what I am trying to explain, I try to switch gears temporarily, moving from the main topic of discussion to the topic or subject matter that excites and motivates the learner.
