Before I've just pulled out the throttle each time I caught my student's right hand on the yoke, but for this one, it's not clicking.
I have a similar student that wishes to fly with two hands. Great pilot, so its a minor problem, but as soon as I see his hand leave the throttle I correct him immediately, and for the most part, it works.

On the final approach, I also make him fly it with the hand ready on the throttle. Perhaps a good demonstration for why its a good idea is to practice a go-around procedure with her to illustrate why you need that power as soon as possible in a bad approach.

I like this discussion, a CFI forum for specific topics to discuss, learning techniques would be fun to continue on APC given all I learn from people on here.
