Interesting Will, I am completely the opposite. Enjoy and look forward to the absolute beginners and much more apprehensive about advanced/level 3 type lessons. I think that stems from a lack of confidence in my own abilities but that's another story!
Anyway, the technique we always use is pedals off, saddle down, walking the bike, 'spaceman' style. Get the balance right, one pedal, push off, two pedals etc.
Determining their past experiences/fears is always important. How they perceive their balance etc.
