Teaching methods can vary depending on the topics being discussed and the level and experience of the students, and are often tailored to the particular student or students, their experience and their own interests.

Online methods are very popular these days, but often face to face can work better if that is geographically possible, and practical demonstrations and interaction can benefit from that form or tuition.

Finding out the student's own levels and the genres that interest them allow any teaching to fit their development.

Encouragement and practical criticism are used throughout to ensure the student enjoys and benefits from the learning experience.
