To teach photography, you need education and experience in the technical elements of shooting and developing film. You also need to be passionate about photography and teaching to be an instructor. Students learn at different rates; some will pick up techniques and show talent from the beginning, while others may struggle just trying to load a roll of film into their camera. For this reason, you should also be extremely patient and supportive.
In some cases, students take photo classes simply for their own benefit or "just for fun." These individuals are not striving to become professionals, so they should be encouraged in their work and have fun learning the craft. It will be your responsibility as an instructor to create a fun and encouraging climate. In this case, you will need to be creative in your teaching methods to be able to educate your students in an entertaining and engaging manner.
