Coaching and Classes - 4 Basic Qualities of Online Coaches

by social expert Writer

Online coaching is a lucrative business opportunity. Many traditional coaches have started their online versions and many new coaches have started their e-courses. Being a coach is not easy, although it looks easy. In order to be a respected coach you need to have a strong command over your subject. You also need to have good communication skills. But there are 4 qualities which are really essential.

The ability to explain concepts logically is the first quality of a coach. In the online field, unlike the traditional classroom, it is not always possible to see the face of the student. You might be running an email based course or a video course which is pre-recorded. These methods are run on auto-pilot and you do not get to interact with the student. A tele-seminars comes close to interactivity but again there is mostly one way communication. Therefore, it is very important that as an online coach you are able to explain the theory with great lucidity. The students should have the least doubts after listening to your video or reading your email.

The ability to give examples is the second important quality of an online coach. Examples bring the theory to life. It is possible to understand concepts in the right sense only by giving examples. If a coach is only able to talk theory without giving examples, then the lesson will not be interesting. On the other hand, if the coach is only talking from personal experience without relating it to theory, then also the lesson becomes uninteresting. A coach must strive to get the right balance between theory and examples.

 A coach must be concerned with the actual learning of his students. If you are more concerned about completing the course and moving on to the next one without finding out what your students have understood, then you will not get much positive feedback at the end of the course. So to test the student's progress, you must give exercises and home work. This will help the student also to test his learning and show him where he stands as compared to others and also as compared to himself.

The fourth quality of a coach is the ability to take feedback positively and implement the suggestions to improve his course. A coach must not be someone who has finished learning but someone who is constantly upgrading his knowledge and skills in order to help his students better. If you cultivate the above 4 qualities in yourself, you can become an ideal online coach.
