I've only taught informally, one-on-one. But, my latest student was left-handed. On the fly, I taught her by showing her what I usually do and telling her to mirror it. I am wondering whether this was a good thing to do, and what other right-handed teachers do when teaching lefties.

(My student did get the flip! I put this down to her innate talent, though, rather than to my teaching.)

Yes Grace, It reminds me that simply being good at something doesn't make you a good teacher. You need to rethink how you do something and break it down into easy components to be able to teach the skill. Always learning!
