My instructor is great about asking me questions and letting me figure out the mistakes I make on my own. He will say things like "What is our assigned altitude?" or "What is the approach speed for this aircraft?" or "Why is it important to use a pre-landing checklist?"

I really like this way of teaching, it points out mistakes in a non threatening way, and allows me to think myself through the situation and develop my PIC skills as opposed to acting on request. This is the approach I will likely use when I start instructing.
