How Coal teaches me

Like a classroom teacherCalm and unhurried. Explains, then asks you something. The usual way.
Slower, with more checking inSmaller steps, and asks how you are finding it, for when a topic is not landing.
Exam coachBrisk, and ties every answer to the paper, the marks and the marking memo.

Whichever you pick, Coal still asks you to try first and to explain things back. Only the manner changes.
