Me and My Job
Patient communicator
To teach, you need to communicate and deal with people one on one.
You also need patience to do this job. I think that's the most important skill, because flight instructing can be a long process.
People always said I had a lot of patience and that definitely helps me in instructing. I don't get freaked out as quickly. I can work well with students who are having more difficulty and I can just keep cool.
