Use Positive Re-inforcement!

Gently Correct- don't scold. Remember, the student is trying to improve. He's not out to deliberately anger the coach.

Use humor- relieve the tension. Learning to drive is stressful!

Praise- "Wow, you're really improving" "You handled that nicely"

End the lesson on a hopeful, up note- "Your lane position was better. Next time we'll give you more challenge"

In-Car Guidelines:

• Always wear safety belts.
• Always use turn signals.
• Always have student brake early.
• Student and coach keep eyes on road.
• Calmly talk student through situations.
• Tell, "Go straight unless told otherwise."
• Look far ahead, and exercise caution.
• Stop when referring to reference material.
