Pedal transition
Braking zone
Gear change
Turn-in point
Neutral throttle (or trail braking for experienced drivers)
Apex point
Acceleration (after hitting the apex)

getting an instructor in the car is always a huge help.
and keep in mind the basics of braking in a straight line, being smooth, and always looking a corner ahead
