I've done some one-on-one technical training professionally, and in my experience it all depends on your student as to how patient you need to be. With someone who drinks in the information well (and subject matter you fully understand), time passes quite quickly, but someone who's slower to pick things up can certainly be frustrating at times.

My Dad has recently decided to learn the basics of computing (word processing...) and I've refused to teach him... I'd tend to go far too quickly for his skill level (complete newbie). Thankfully there are some courses near here targetted towards a senior audience, and he's done quite well with them. When he asks me for help with something I do help (obviously), but teaching him new subjects is something that we would both be frustrated with.
