Subject: Bending advice for a beginner?

I have a pretty promising student who is picking up what I've been
teaching him pretty quick. I taught him pretty much everything I know
about bending during his latest lesson. He can't seem to break through
(so far - maybe he's practiced it since this weekend and gotten it). He
got the 1 draw pretty easily, and I tried to apply that to teaching the
other draw bends. I discussed tongue and mouth shape and position,
raising the jaw, etc. For those of you who teach, how do you teach
beginners how to bend? With years of playing, I can bend easily, but I
have a hard time describing how!

Thanks in advance for your expert advice. :-)
