If you teach, what is your training style, and why is that method?

My teaching style is very Hands-On, as I believe it gives the learner the opportunity to really explore and understand the topic for themselves. I also like to be open and allow learners to ask questions so that they can get the most out of the experience.
 
Transcript: "So the question is, if you teach what is your training style and why is it that method? Well, for me I like to teach very much Hands-On where the person that I'm teaching a training, has the opportunity to really do it themselves because quite honestly the reason it's that method is because that's how I like to learn. I like to be very very Hands-On and I also don't necessarily like my answers to be given to me very very easily. I like to be even a way to problem solve and, you know, come up with the answer that I need in order to, you know, to take the next step forward. So when I teach, I do a lot of Hands-On but I also like to have the photographer's that I'm teaching work through the process of getting the answers that they want. Because I think that it really kind of like sticks. I'm a bit more. But again, that has to do with how I learn, you know, all through school college and whatnot. I'm very, very, very Hands-On and I'm Not very lectured base. So that's really the style that I teach from and I'm also teaching, very, very, I'm very open. I want people to be able to ask the questions that they want, because otherwise they do themselves a disservice if they keep into themselves. So that's my style. Hope that helps"

My training style is to discuss the subject matter with my clients or students, give them information and then leave them alone for a while so they can practice what I taught them. I will then come back and do critique sessions to help them improve.

My teaching style involves providing a rich experience by showing different ways to photograph the same subject. I like to have an interactive and motivating one-on-one experience with people, so they can learn more effectively.

My training style is experimental, hands-on and I try and always be enthusiastic and passionate. I also use certain inflections in my voice to keep the energy going, especially online. I appeal to different learning styles by using video, tutorials, and podcasts. In addition, I have empathy for where students are in their journey, and try to make learning fun.

I don't give out answers and expect students to work for them because if the answers are just given, they will often be forgotten. This is a way to ensure that students retain the information as everyone processes and applies it differently.
