The best approach to the oral is to of course know the material, but
arrive prepared to be able to explain complicated matters in everyday

applicant, its the ability to do this.

This is true for just about any teacher.

True enough. I found the more I taught people to fly, the better I got
at teaching people to fly. In the end, the student teaches you as much
about teaching as you teach them about flying.
Being a good CFI is indeed a two way street. :-)

That's true of any topic. When I was teaching college level, I always
expected to learn more than my students. If I didn't learn something
new, either during prep or during class, then it was time for me to
stop teaching that class and find another.
