Teach one skill, observe a learner attempt and adjust your explanation.
Teach one small segment
Use your twenty-minute plan to select a five-minute segment. Choose one skill you can demonstrate accurately, such as finding a symbol reference, adapting Gassho or asking before changing a shared practice. Invite a willing partner to act as a learner, or rehearse aloud on your own. Make clear that this is a teaching exercise rather than a qualification assessment.
If you have a partner, explain what feedback you want: whether the task was clear, which instruction helped and where they became unsure. You are asking for evidence about the lesson, not a general judgment about whether you are a natural teacher.
Use what the attempt shows you
If the learner copies a position but cannot explain its purpose, add a shorter explanation. If they explain it clearly but cannot find the reference, improve the navigation instruction. Choose the adjustment that addresses the observed gap. Repeating everything more loudly or adding more spiritual language may leave the actual difficulty untouched.
Record one sentence about the learner's attempt and one about your next teaching revision. Keep any personal information out of the note unless it is needed and agreed. Rehearse the revised segment once more when you can.
