I remember before I was teaching, it used to bother me no end when the instructor would watch me do it once and come over and correct something. Often, I felt like I was focusing somewhere else entirely and the instructor was distracting me. Now, of course, I do that sort of thing all the time, but I do try (not so succesfully) to remember that each student has their own agenda. If you can figure out what they are trying to do, it often helps you understand what they need to hear.

Aleksey, that's so touchy feely. I'm shocked!

Yours in Aiki
Opher
