Teachers all want the same thing: they want students to become masters. So in essence they all do the same thing, just in different ways that are specific to whatever craft they are teaching. Septian was able to hone her skills so well ( over a long period of deep practice) that she was able to "figure out" her students within 20 seconds of meeting them. Some teaching requires constant instruction and immediate error detection and correction, some teaching requires hardly any communication at all. Like with this Suzuki school and the futsal futbol school. Some nerve connections and firing have to be perfect and equal every time, like playing the cello. The music is always the same. But in futsal, you have to be creative and fluid, the circuits have to fire in different ways to adjust to the defender, your teammates, the weather conditions etc. And so the futsal coaching would let his players develop that free fluid ness for themselves with little instruction. Whereas the Suzuki teacher would be highly specific and critical at a microscopic level, because the music is strict, and unchanging. The notes are always the same.
Key terms : matrix, perceptiveness, GPS reflex, theatrical honesty
Key concept: depending on the craft the coach must teach in a specific way so that the student can learn and master the craft in the most successful way possible. These methods can be completely opposite, but the ending result is the same goal.
Connection: only through years of deep practice will I be able to have the skills in order to teach in a way that will accelerate the rate of learning in my students. I have to find my own ways to identify errors, and know how the student will respond to certain methods.
