I taught my aunt how to use a DVR. I taught her how to use facebook. I’ve taught my dad several times how to use some apps on his iPhone.
When I worked in retail I taught staff how to use the registers, I taught them customer service skills, I taught them how to use their client books productively.
There have been two instances where I have left a job and completely trained the person replacing me. Both times it was about a week of training, and then even when I was gone from the job I was accessible.
I’ve shown my husband how to cook some things. Mostly, it was just cooking together really.
I tutored Algebra for a short while when I was in college to Jr. high students.
I teach Zumba, which typically doesn’t really involve any teaching, but I taught a Zumba Tips class that I invented, to give more pointers about how to do the steps and how to modify steps if you had trouble because they were too difficult, or needed more stamina than the person had, etc. It’s interesting to me how people can have so much trouble with left, right, left, right.
When I was in high school I spent a semester helping teachers in the elementary school. I helped children in 4th grade with their spelling and vocabulary. These children were in the below level group. Just the time and attention was very helpful, they all improved. I helped in 5th grade later on with children who spoke English as a second language. It wasn’t exactly systematic what I was doing in the elementary school though, it was more gut feeling what would be helpful for each child.
I am extremely patient with teaching and training. I don’t mind being asked the same thing twice, I try to explain something differently if they don’t understand the first time. I give tips for taking notes and sorting material if they seem to be struggling with that. I enjoy doing it.
