i know that a lot of people will not understand this, or will just simply disagree with me,
but you will not be a great flight instructor, or even a good one, until you come to realize that you cannot teach anyone to fly.
now ponder that for a while, it took me about 300 hours as a CFI to get it.

As a long time CFII and a long time DE I would offer this small bit of (wisdom gained over 40 years). Let you student make mistakes unless they are dangerous, then show them the proper way without making then feel like an Idiot. Many CFI"s like to show the student how good they are.
I wish you a long and succesful career in introducing people to GA.
