Refrain from saying that too many things are "Easy"

While some things will most definitely be easier, keep this in mind:

• Emphasize that certain concepts/events build on another, so it is imperative to fully grasp idea #1 before starting #2.
• Although it may be "simpler", point out certain things that students commonly have trouble with while teaching. It makes the shy kid who doesn't want to ask questions more comfortable to know that he or she might not be the only one to not "get it"
• Encourage students to ask for help privately if they do not wish to raise their hand in class, but set guidelines so that the student is not having a private tutoring session each day.
