"The mediocre teacher tells. The good teacher explains. The superior teacher demonstrates. The great teacher inspires"

This quote by William Arthur Ward speaks with the various levels of mentor that exist. An average instructor simply tells their trainees what to do and expects them to do it. A great instructor discusses why the job is necessary and how to do it. A superior teacher demonstrates the task, showing the trainees how it is done. Finally, a terrific instructor influences their students to do the task, inspiring them to do their best. Excellent teachers are able to connect with their students and make them feel enthusiastic about the job at hand. They are able to make learning satisfying and meaningful. Terrific instructors are able to make a lasting impact on their students and help them reach their complete capacity.
