Tips to be a better instructor

• Teach often. If you only teach once or twice a year it is hard to be an effective instructor. Your local Red Cross has many opportunities for you to teach outside of your normal routine.
• Tailor to your class. Meet them at their level. Make training sessions more relevant to the situations they would deal with.
• Dress professionally. You are only as good as your students see you to be. The old adage "The clothes don't make the man (or woman)" is not true. Dress unprofessionally and a student may only have a bad memory, and that of you!!
• Know your material! Even the most complicated questions can be answered easily: Just remember - Check - Call - Care and ABC. That is all you need to know to respond effectively, no matter what the situation.
• Call our professional staff for more information at (864) 583-8000. We will be more than happy to answer any questions you may have.
