Default Buddy Box Training Vernacular

It's been a decade since I taught someone to fly an RC Trainer, and now I've purchased a buddy cable so I can teach my wife how to fly. Just wondering what experienced trainers say for up and down elevator when using a buddy cable as that can be really confusing for the student. Up Stick, Back Stick, Pull just don't seem to cut it as up stick is a pull or downward movement on the stick. (With a buddy cable, the student does not get the immediate feedback of the instructor moving the sticks as he does corrections.) Left and Right come pretty naturally, but how do experienced trainers communicate elevator control during the flying session?
