Most adults are very motivated to learn, specially based on their specific goals. Self directed learning is a great way for these students to thrive. Although guidance is still important for the process to be successful. 

Understand that most of our Adult students have busy lives with work, family, and important life commitments. Make plans with them so they have a clear guide to follow and try to be flexible where available. Advise them on where their strengths and weaknesses are and what can be done to improve.

Learn how to listen and respond accordingly with proper respect and poise. Make your students feel like they are being listened to in a respectful manner.

Students as customers, and Instructors as the Product Providers might seem shallow through an economic lens, but it is exactly that.
