If you're talking about meeting *completely* offline, that's fantastic because it means your affiliates are right there with you. Now, because one-on-one training isn't really about "classes" or "seminars," I'm going to focus on those.
In those cases, you take on the role of "teacher," and that means preparing lesson plans and instructional tools (handouts, etc.). In an ideal situation, a teacher can hook his or her PC up to a projector and literally walk attendees through a presentation, whether through a tool like PowerPoint or directly showing people what he or she does right on SFI or TripleClicks. There are several advantages of this type of training:
1) Everybody learns from all the individual questions asked.
2) A shrewd instructor will be better able to assess students' skills and personal drive.
3) A class can be recorded on video and uploaded for future use with future classes... or as notes for future publishing. Imagine selling these instructional books and videos, and I'm sure the value is obvious!
All you need, then, is a good venue. For some, a home living room works well; others might prefer a local cafe or diner that has WiFi and a private room. Universities can provide student groups with meeting areas, as well, so if you're faculty or you're a student with your own "Young Entrepreneurs" group, by all means, reserve a free room!
In my opinion, nothing works as well as real-life instruction. Pursue it if you can.
