Question 97

A steadier focus

The instructor was reassuring, explaining that the blur did not mean I had broken anything. He was encouraging when I finally brought the distant tower into focus, asking me to describe its outline before he adjusted the instrument again. We had not yet begun looking at the stars. Practising in daylight made it easier to distinguish a mistake in using the equipment from a problem with what I was trying to see.

From the passage, select two words or phrases that describe the instructor's manner with a beginner.
