I'm the training coordinator for our club and a new instructor. I just started flying last year, but have lots of time under my belt since then. Our senior instructor recommended I become an instructor, since many of the lessons are still fresh in my mind. One thing I've found very helpful with a new student is to "keep flying the plane" even though the student has control. By that I mean, I keep moving my sticks in the direction I think the student should be moving them. I also keep my throttle setting a few clicks higher than the student. That way when I take control back, recovery is much quicker. The buddy box has turned out to be VERY easy, and I would recommend anyone that is an experienced pilot consider trying it as an instructor. You'll get to fly more planes as well!
