The average persons capabilities.

How did I teach people?

I take a very malleable approach, which is why I work best one to one in person, and it's much harder to emulate over the Internet.

I start off very simply, with the fundamentals of whatever the topic is. I try and encourage the person to tell me what it is they are not getting, and it may be we need to cover another topic first.

I use lots of different ways to explain the same thing, to see what kind of method works best for the person. I make sure they understand each part, and can convince themselves by answering questions, before moving on. That way I slowly build confidence.

Of course, it relies on the other person putting effort in. I've had people who just can't be bothered to even try and won't listen to me. Obviously it went nowhere with them.
