Aside from that. Having the student in front of you will do wonders for growth and assessment. Initially that is. It gives the educator a chance to observe and make good suggestions. And like what was said above the rider will be comfortable. That's what you want.
That sounds like a person with an intercom connection to her should be riding behind her to give advice as she rides, but since she is a new rider and driver she should be following a more experienced rider. Or in other words put her between two experienced riders.
