Blessed self: Hari OM Diwali greetings.
As you rightly pointed out, a pre session with the student will give ample understanding about the needs and aspirations of the student. In a few countries like India, advanced information about touching the body of female students would give better understanding for assisting and helping the subject in the learning process.
It is nice you are touching different aspects, where generally people do not give cognigence to little but trivial aspects like this. Om Tat Sat
With regards, Prem and OM Swami Bhakti Chaitanya

Thanks Paul, this is very true that everyone in the class has a different approach to being a student and motives why to come to the class. Is talking to a student before or after class the way to find it out. Some of them may not want to open up. And also any tips on how to: “Prepare a list of policies for common courtesy, safety, and precaution”. Thank you. Great article.Sishel
