To me, it is most important that a student feels successful in what they have accomplished each lesson. Every student progresses at their own rate and it's important to give students attainable short-term goals in the service of long-term achievements.

This will give the student a degree of inspiration which us as teachers can use to help them stay focused and interested in continuing with their studies. Read More
