That’s what being an instructor is all about. Airlines and regional carriers respect the work of the instructor for several reasons. It is the first time any of us work in a multi-crew environment, you need to bring your skills in communication to a higher level, you improve your ability to assess, evaluate and change your plan to suit the students learning style.
