Human Factors
While enroute to PWT my student and I were climbing to 2;500 ft. on a heading of approximately 250. An aircraft was flying north at what looked like 2;500 ft. We were at about 2;200 ft. when we spotted the aircraft and made maneuvers to avoid a collision. I would say we were about a hundred or so feet below the aircraft when we leveled off to avoid. Our view was obstructed by our wing and we weren't able to see the aircraft in our climb. In the future we will check aircraft blind spots before initiating a climb or directional change in the aircraft. No traffic alerts were available in our airplane.
