I instructed for the first time last weekend. My advice to my student was "smooth." Especially the feet. The biggest problem my student had was throttle control, so one session we focused almost solely on that (pun intended).

I also took him out in my car during my session to show him the lines, and also to get him used to what it feels like at speed. Everything changes as the speeds increase.

Calm, emphasis on smooth, and praise when they get it right. It worked with me when I was a student, and worked when I was instructing. Luckily I had a number of good instructors so I picked the various bits that i remembered and used them.
