Interesting thread.
Even though I am not (YET) a certified instructor, I have had my share of instructing AX as well as some tracks where i felt confident when asked to help with new drivers.
Students often have the fear factor of the INSTRUCTOR, even though they will not admit to it.
I will not add redundancy to the previous, good comments and sudgestions, but I have found students more open to ask questions and more relaxed when they get to KNOW their instructor before getting to the event. Other clubs have the instructors call and talk to their students days before the event to talk about what the student wants to achieve, go over some terminology, and clear up any questions on a one to one basis. By the time they meet at the track, they are buddies. (no holding hands, please!
