A lack of teaching skill – ‘Look, it works for me, so you’ve done it wrong’ – but takes ages to take control of someone’s computer when they’re struggling, to help them understand why. Long monologues. Condescension – ‘Look, it’s a right headache, isn’t it, if you don’t know the code’. I’ve done some development work, so I had no trouble with the level required to understand the possibilities and exercises, but I think he lost other people rather than adapting to their needs. It’s a shame becaus

Too much lecturing by the trainer. It’s very difficult not to lose focus, even with just three students. Suggested improvement: share the students’ screens during the exercises and don’t go through the exercises out loud on your own.
